Multidisciplinary Rounds (MDRs)
In MDRs, the healthcare team discusses patients outside the patient’s presence, typically at a centralized location such as a nursing station or conference room.
Medical Rounds
In medical rounds, also known as ward rounds, attending rounds, and safari rounds, the lead provider rounds on his or her patient at the bedside. When conducted on a teaching unit with residents and interns, the focus is on medical education for the trainees.
Interdisciplinary Bedside Rounds (IBRs)
During IBRs, the different professions engage in a collective dialogue, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the patient’s condition, needs, and care plan. The inclusion of the patient and their family in the conversation also ensures that the care plan is tailored to the patient’s needs and preferences. Inputs shared forward from multiple stakeholders are readily synthesized together to form a cohesive plan of care.
Structured Interdisciplinary Bedside Rounds (SIBR Rounds)
A well-known model of IBRs is structured interdisciplinary bedside rounds, abbreviated as SIBR rounds and pronounced "cyber."
SIBR follows a six-step process to create a shared mental model of who says what, when, and in what sequence when a care team enters the patient's room together. This structure is designed to ensure role clarity, consistency, efficiency, and sense-making.
