摘要
The authors conducted an observational study of attending rounds to determine the current status of this form of clinical teaching in a university-based internal medicine department. Using two forms of measurement, questionnaires and timed observations, we found that 63 % of attending physician time was spent in the conference room, 26% in hallways, and only 11 % at the bedside. Significant differences were found between estimated and actual times, particularly in discussing previously admitted patients, patient interactions, data reviews, topic, presentations, and the category of "other " activities. These results provide a framework for appraising attending rounds and identifying areas that may be improved with a teaching workshop intervention.
