These changes will go into effect 4/1! We are making these changes to try to eliminate the need for daily floor lists and improve nurse calls to the correct resident. It will also help to simplify our rounding structure and improve nursing satisfaction with rounds. Feedback Folders: Please start using the feedback folders on medicine. They are located in the hanging file on the wall by the white coats. All the interns have folders posted, and I will update the seniors each month with who is on service. The evaluations are at the top of the hanging file. * On Monday- use the evaluations to set your goals for the weeks * On Friday- update the evaluations with feedback and next steps to help to achieve the goals This will allow attendings to see what residents are already working on and help us to give more consistent feedback. I will also give the completed evaluations to the advisors for the orange folders at the end of the month. Epic care team list: Each reside...
