In August 2020, the medical affairs team adopted the Nursing Grand Rounds structure and process and launched two additional programs, Bite Sized Learning and Medical Grand Rounds. Additionally, in April the NEC launched FOCUSED™ on Clinical Excellence. This program highlights the exceptional work of our interprofessional colleagues across Shriners Hospitals for Children’s health care system and further supports additional opportunities for system- wide collaboration in the care of our patients.

Our two goals, both of which were achieved, were to first develop a reproducible structure and process for other teams to adopt so they could implement similar programs, and second, create structures and processes to mitigate redundant work across the system and to promote opportunities for system-wide interprofessional collaboration, both

In 2019, our Nursing Executive Council (NEC) announced the system-wide launch of Shriners Hospitals for Children’s Nursing Grand Rounds. This forum was developed to promote and celebrate the professional contributions of our nursing staff and empower our front-line clinical nurses and advance practice registered nurses to share evidence- based practice, clinical expertise and experiences and other topics that strengthen our system-level interprofessional collaboration to improve patient outcomes and enhance our patient experience.
