Description

Interdisciplinary grand rounds are crucial in healthcare because they bring together professionals from various specialties to discuss complex cases, share insights, and enhance patient care. By involving diverse perspectives, these rounds ensure a holistic approach to patient management, where all aspects of a patient’s condition and treatment options are considered. This collaborative setting promotes effective communication across departments, leading to more coordinated care, fewer errors, and better patient outcomes. The multidisciplinary nature of these rounds supports more informed decision-making, especially for complex cases that require input from multiple specialties. By focusing on patient-centered care, these rounds ensure that the care plan aligns with the patient’s values, preferences, and overall well-being.

Educational Need

Injury is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, resulting in more than 30 million emergency department visits and 2.5 million inpatient admissions each year. Up to 70% of trauma patients require consultation for orthopaedic injuries, and the management of orthopaedic injuries is an essential component of high-quality trauma care. In addition to reducing injury mortality, orthopaedic trauma care is important for optimized long-term functional recovery, which is highly correlated with health-related quality of life following musculoskeletal injury.
