Virtual Rounding Overview

Overview

Team rounds can be conducted virtually using Switchboard through inpatient virtual meeting rooms.

Coordination between care teams is important to ensure other virtual team meetings are not scheduled during the same time period. Coordination between rounding team members should also be considered (i.e. meet in patient room x at x time on Switchboard).

Once logged into Switchboard, select "CHOOSE INPATIENT":

When rounding is complete, it is recommended to “DROP EVERYONE” from the meeting to ensure privacy for the next meeting.
