Family-centered rounds.

Mittal V. Pediatr Clin North Am. 2014;61:663-670.

Family-centered rounds are multidisciplinary rounds that involve patients and their families, include the complete case presentation and discussion, and engage them in decision making. This commentary discusses how family-centered rounds can contribute to patient safety, such as better doctor–patient relationships, and barriers to implementing them, including perceptions that rounds would take longer.
