Abstract

<p>Since 2008, we have carried out the ward rounds with regional liaison staffs (doctor, nurse, medical social worker) in the NHO Himeji Medical Center. We analyzed statistically the data concerning with regional medical cooperation between 2007 and 2015 and examined the effects of ward rounds. As a result, it was suggested that the rounds have 4 effects. First effect is the practice of interdisciplinary teamwork. Second is the improvement of communication among medical staffs. Third is the rise of ward nurses' knowledge and recognition concerning discharge supports. Forth is the contribution to hospital profits. Rise in ward nurses' knowledge and recognition through ward rounds may increase the rates of discharge adjustments starting within 10days after hospitalization. The ward rounds are remarkably useful methods to achieve discharge supports starting early.</p>
