These elements include greater clarity, by means of medical center and healthcare leaders communicating hourly rounding's objectives (Titler, 2010). Valuable instruction regarding the actions that have to be taken in hourly rounding, nurse accountability for its performance, and manner of documentation must also be incorporated, as must outcome assessment in quantifiable units (Goldsack, Bergey, Mascioli & Cunningham, 2015)
There are, however, issues with implementation, as studies prove that EBP change is multifaceted and tricky; also, there is no any universal implementation technique. Attlesey-Pries, Bieber, Dierkhising Olson and Tucker indicated in their 2011 study that implementation must include multiple key elements to effective implementation and process translation into practice, including a grasp of the intervention's multifaceted nature, adopter evaluation and a sound communication strategy (Tucker et al
e., staff training, delivery of required educational matter, collection and analysis of data, and implementation and assessment expenses (Tzeng, 2010)
Fords (2010) supports the argument of Hicks by pointing out that the concept hourly rounding is an effective health proactive approach to improving patient satisfaction. To support his argument, Ford uses the hourly rounding practice of "BWMC (Baltimore Washington Medical Center)" (Ford, 2010 p 188) where "Quantitative call light data were collected during this time, along with data from rounding logs and discharge phone calls made to those patients within 48 hours of discharge
Hand hygiene goes beyond just washing with soap and water, though. The hands need to be washed with an antiseptic agent such as antimicrobial soap, which would reduce bacterial counts on the hands for a long period of time (Perry & Potter, 2012)

Sterile wound dressing changes would mean meticulous hand washing, the use of sterile field, use of sterile gloves, and sterile instruments (Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (Potter, et al
According to Ford (2010), hourly rounding is an effective method to enhance a quality of care, which involves a proactive approach to achieve patient's positive results as well as improving patient's satisfaction. Ford, (2010) research design involves collecting the feedback of the "BWMC (Baltimore Washington Medical Center)" (Ford, 2010 p 188) to evaluate the effectiveness of hourly rounding for patients' satisfaction
More than "20% of people who fall suffer moderate-to-severe injuries, such as head trauma bruises or hip fractures." (Hicks, 2015, p 51)
The research design is by conducting a comprehensive literature search from "CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Medline and Google." (Hodgson, 2012, p 35)
The concept used is "NRS (Nursing Round System) would reduce patient's call lights." (Saleh, Nusair, Zubadi, et al
The sample consists of "two 29-bed postoperative orthopedic units in a large academic medical center in the Midwest of the United States." (Tucker, Bieber, Attlesey-Pries, et al
