Abstract
The lack of a proper system for ongoing open interprofessional communication among care providers increases miscommunications and medical errors. Seamless access to patient information is important for care providers to prevent miscommunication and improve patient safety. A shared understanding of the information needs of different care providers in an interprofessional team is lacking. Our purpose is to identify care providers' information needs from the perspective of different professions for communication, shared understanding about the patient, and decision-making. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 subject matter experts representing eight professions, including dentistry, dietetics, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, and social work in a 465-bed academic hospital at a large urban Midwestern city. We used an in-house rounding tool presenting physicians' information needs and a hypothetical patient scenario to collect participants' feedback. Interview notes were coded using direct content analysis. We identified 22 additional essential data elements for an interprofessional rounding tool. We categorized those into six domains: discharge-related, social determinants of health, hospital safety, nutrition, interprofessional situation awareness, and patient history. A well-designed validated rounding tool that includes an interprofessional team of care providers' information needs could improve communication, care planning, and decision-making among them.
