Webinar: Creating Effective Nurse Leader Rounds
Is your leader rounding effective? Are you getting the results that you want? Or are you struggling to get quite the results that you would like? Nurse leader rounding is a common practice among healthcare organizations. However, a one size fits all approach doesn’t create effective result in an organization. Join Nobl for a webinar that focuses on creating the best results for every department in your organization.
Employee Rounding - How it Relates to Biscuits!

Providing routine, meaningful touchpoints with employees through rounding can result in higher employee satisfaction and retention, but only if the structures, processes, and outcomes of rounding efforts are well-defined and monitored. Conducting “howdy” rounds that don’t explore core problems or respond to key issues can be more detrimental than helpful.  

Taking Employee Rounds to a New Level
One of the first responsibilities of today’s healthcare leaders is to know their workforce. That requires an in-depth knowledge of five generations currently in the workplace and how those generations directly impact competency, compliance, communication and ultimately patient satisfaction and experience. The newest members of the healthcare workforce are technologically savvy, focused on professional growth, and genuinely wish to make a difference in the workforce. One important caveat is that they want to make a difference sooner.
Considerations for Critical Care Leader Rounding

The admission of a loved one into a critical care area can put a family into “crisis” mode, especially when a hospital stay is unexpected. Until the status of the patient is known, the priorities for the patient and family revolve around two areas – information and support. Family members at the bedside are often tasked to keep the extended family and friends informed about the situation or to field multiple calls from those with well-meaning intentions.  This is not a time to ask the family how your team is doing.

Adapting your Rounding Program During COVID-19 to Address Patient and Employees Needs

The COVID-19 outbreak is impacting all Americans in some manner, including those of us here at Nobl. We are in our 4th week of working virtually. We are fortunate that our business lends itself to a virtual platform, but our healthcare partners at the point of care do not share this luxury. Facing this global threat is taking courage, commitment, and sacrifice from the entire healthcare system.   

Considerations for Oncology Leader Rounding

No one wants to hear a diagnosis of “cancer” but with medical research and new treatment breakthroughs, more and more survivors are winning the battle for long and healthy lives. But until the prognosis and outcome are known, patients and families have many questions and need strong support from the healthcare community. Patient “transitions” are a key component of cancer care as patients are referred from their primary care provider and navigate through a team of specialists who assure that body systems are protected while aggressive treatments are aimed at the disease.
