Part 1: Foundational Concepts
1.1 Definition of Hourly Rounding

Question: What is hourly rounding in nursing practice?
Answer: Hourly rounding is a systematic, proactive, nurse-driven,
evidence-based process designed to anticipate and address the needs of
hospitalized patients at regular, scheduled intervals .
Rationale: Unlike reactive care (waiting for call lights), hourly rounding
represents a paradigm shift toward proactive care. Nurses and care team
members check on patients every hour
during the day (typically 0600-2200) and every two hours at night (2200-
0600) to address needs before the patient feels the need to call for
assistance .
1.2 Purpose and Goals of Hourly Rounding

Question: What are the primary goals of implementing hourly rounding in acute care
