Top Ten Reasons WHY NURSES think Managing Team Response (MTR®) Automated Hourly Rounding beats all other hourly rounding plans.
1. Nurses can see at a glance who needs to be visited (no more clock visits)
2. Nurses do not need to fill in log sheets/marker boards in the room (use room time for patient)
3. Nurses can point at the board when a family member is concerned about visits (proof of excellence)
4. No buttons need to be pressed in the hallway or room or nurse call (one less thing to touch/do)
5. Reduced call lights and eliminate “rounding reminder” call lights (so much quieter/no alarm fatigue)
6. Nurses don’t need to carry around a tablet or other device.
7. Team work – If a patient needs to be seen any team member can pop in and check them – and they actually KNOW if a patient needs to be seen – great visual cues = great communication
8. Credit – if a nurse steps up and steps in for another team member – that nurse gets credit. If more than one nurse is in a room – both get credit
9. Point and click room rounding reports show patients/families that nurses ARE in the room and answer those questions that come up.
10. Instead of basing rounding on an arbitrary rule, the team can set rounding rules based on the individual patient and plan of care – and - Awareness – nurses don’t need to guess which patients are on which schedule, it’s obvious.
“I have heard horror stories -- RNs required to round on the hour precisely, recite half a dozen questions to each patient, chart the answer and response to every question every time, etc. That kind of nonsense is just impossible to manage for a normal patient load. Keeping it simple works best.”

Managing Team Response (MTR®) Automated Hourly Rounding addresses rounding issues with proven results*. Care teams are relieved of watching and being ruled by the clock. Instead the MTR® system manages the clock and provides visual rounding status indicators for each patient which can be seen at a glance by any staff member. Patients and families are comforted knowing that they are being visited by care team regularly. Everyone is relieved of the paperwork and there are no additional steps such as presence buttons or hallway boxes to reset. The whole care team is always aware of the rounding status for each patient and can assist one another as necessary. All care team members are always given credit for the time they spend with patients. And it is fully customizable for the patient, unit, facility, and time-of-day.
There are many issues that remain with hourly rounding as implemented by most healthcare facilities today. If you want to increase staff buy in, reduce stress, improve teamwork, develop strong communication, account to your patients and their families, and have easy access to reports and data that will not only show your areas of weakness but prove your areas of great strength; and if you want the team to spend more quality time with their patients and less time filling out paperwork you need to explore MTR® Automated Hourly Rounding.

If you provide the Commitment - our MTR Systems provide unequaled Consistency, Transparency, and Accountability.

Managing Team Response, ( MTR ® ) is an automated, customizable electronic whiteboard system that greatly enhances the in-room patient & family experience, that brings 100% consistency, transparency, and accountability to the hourly-rounding process, and that routinely reduces “never-events” by more than half … sometimes, reducing them to zero. Some of our client hospitals refer to this smart room technology as their gold standard going forward – all new renovations and buildings will have this system.

Healthcare organizations frequently come to us asking about our State-of-the-Art Electronic Patient Room Boards. As we discuss the clear, consistent and dramatic functionality (21st century vs. 20th – photos vs. handwriting – customization flexibilities – aesthetics – etc.) they say they want a better presentation for their patients and families that looks good and makes them look current and “with it” …..Then we begin to discuss the broader ways in which we impact the Effectiveness of Patient Care…..They agree that hourly rounding is an effective way to enhance patient environments, improve patient outcomes, and greatly reduce falls and skin ulcers which are costly and debilitating.
But they also agree, that their hourly rounding is not as good as it could be. Even though they are committed to making it work - the process still lacks the consistency and transparency they would like, and it does not effectively include patient families.
The current result is that their hourly rounding is at most times reduced to guesswork … their HCAHPS are not where they want them ... and the number of falls and skin ulcers in their facility or on their units are too high.
This is no longer true for our customers – some of whom have achieved the unheard of result of zero falls and DC Ulcers over more than 12 months.

Managing Team Response, ( MTR® ) is an automated technology solution that brings 100% consistency, transparency, and accountability to the hourly rounding process. No longer an individual task hidden from others, it becomes a highly visible and shared effort within the group or Team such that no patient is ever left for extended periods without attention to their needs.
The result? Patients and families are happier - which is important for VBP reimbursement rates; hourly rounding is now visible, measurable and provable-- and therefore skin ulcers and falls are greatly reduced … usually by half … sometimes more … saving the organization hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions of dollars, each year.

Each system is modular and is customized per the facility, dept and patient with a wide range of flexibilities to address patient case, timeframe within the case, age, background etc. We are continuously adding features and functions as our customers request and suggest improvements and new advances – one of our latest is the option for real-time feedback for Hand-Hygiene compliance.

We would love to share how we can help you achieve the excellent Quality of Care results our clients are bragging about.
