The Evidence Base for SIBR

The Most-Evidence-Based Practice You’re Not Doing Yet?

 

SIBR might be the most evidence-based clinical pratice your hospital units are not using yet.

Strong results of Structured Interdisciplinary Bedside Rounds (SIBR Rounds) have been well-documented across 15 presented and published studies from the past decade representing 14 different hospitals.

Review the Research

SIBR results come in 5 flavors

1Unit Nurses First SIBR rounds Early Discharge Length of stay

LOS & DC coordination

9-15% decrease in LOS typical

stay in the loop -AND - reduce harm events - home page

Reduce harm events

24.5% decrease in unit mortality

Patient experience

88 point increase for HCAHPS “rate the hospital”

Reduced care costs

$1.4M annual savings per unit due to lower LOS

Employee engagement

24% increase in nursing job satisfaction (76% to 100%)

Reduce Harm Events + Delight Patients + Satisfy Employees + Reduce Costs of Care = No Tradeoffs Needed

Why is SIBR special? Most hospital interventions involve tradeoffs — improve patient care at a cost, or save costs by cutting care. The SIBR evidence base shows it’s possible to break those trade-offs — improve patient care and satisfaction in a way that produces significant cost savings. In this way, a SIBR implementation led by 1Unit can pay for itself within a few months.

If innovation is the breaking of conventional tradeoffs, then SIBR may be the most innovative clinical operations practice available.
