J Interprof Care. 2020 Jun 12;:1-9 Authors: Beaird G, Baernholdt M, Byon HD, White KR Abstract Multiple models of interprofessional rounding (IPR) exist. However, researchers find mixed effects for the impact of IPR, pointing to the possibility that variations in design may influence the effectiveness of the practice. We explored whether IPR design variations (location, use of script, and role of the leader) are associated with team collaboration (partnership and cooperation) and team effectiveness as perceived by practitioners and patients (i.e., patient inclusion). A cross-sectional, survey-based method design was used targeting practitioners on 15 different hospital units at two academic health centers.

Statistical methods included multilevel modeling with moderation analysis. There were several significant relationships among design, team collaboration, and team effectiveness. For the design, role of the leader and use of a script had a significant positive association with cooperation. Practitioners' perceptions of team effectiveness were associated with use of script, and cooperation moderated the relationships between practitioners' perceptions of team effectiveness and location, as well ...
