Data omission by physician trainees on ICU rounds.
Reporting complete patient information during clinical rounds is important for achieving an accurate diagnosis and informing clinical management. Prior research has shown that data is sometimes omitted or inaccurately communicated on rounds. This observational study compared patient data shared by trainees and medical students on ICU rounds to that contained within the electronic health record. Researchers analyzed photocopies of trainee and student notes as well as audio recordings of their oral presentations. For the 157 patient presentations included in the study, they found all contained data omissions and that other team members on rounds supplemented a minimal amount of data missing from student and trainee presentations. The authors recommend additional oversight and education of trainees with regard to data presented on rounds.
