Are you asking the right questions in your rounds? Do you even know what the right questions are?
Join us for a 30-minute webinar (plus 15 minute Q&A) as our panel of rounding experts walk through techniques for creating the best rounding questions for your organization based on goals and priorities.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How many questions you should be asking and how to divide up those questions.
- How to ask more questions in your rounds... without actually asking more questions.
- How to use the MyRounding Question Filter to ensure you're getting the most out of your rounds and collecting useful data.

10. Observable?
Question to Improve
Is the white board
up to date?
Has your room been
kept clean?
Does anything present
a fall risk?
Effective OBSERVATION
Does the white board appear
up to date?
Does the room appear clean
and picked up?
Can you see any fall risk
threats?
Can we answer the question without asking the roundee?
11. Qualified?
Question to Improve
Did we maintain a sterilized
environment when inserting
your catheter?
Effective Question
Do you have any questions
about your catheter?
(and do observations around
the current catheter status
and/or audit when inserting)
Is the question too technical? Is it unreasonable for the
roundee to answer?
12. Tattle?
Question to Improve
One of our goals is to not use
technical jargon. Has [RN
NAME] talked to you using
plain language?
Effective Question
Our goal is that you understand
what our staff is communicating
with you. Is there anything that
you did not understand or
would like me to go over with
you again?
Are we asking the roundee to manage the team?
13. Know?
Question to Improve
What are the names of your
medications?
Effective Question
Tell me about your medications.
Will the roundee feel foolish if they don’t know the answer?
