Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the ObservSMART Nurse Rounds module?
The ObservSMART Nurse Rounds module is a proximity-based rounding solution that supports nursing workflow and enables complete documentation of patient or resident safety checks. Using a handheld device at the bedside, nurses document each patient check, creating an accurate, time-stamped record that integrates with your EHR.
How does it help ensure rounds are completed on time?
The Nurse Rounds module automatically reminds nurses when scheduled rounds are due, helping them stay on track throughout their busy shifts. These tools help staff stay organized, prioritize patient care, and reduce the risk of missed safety checks. This proactive approach helps identify and address gaps before they become patient safety concerns while supporting accountability and regulatory compliance.
Can Nurse Rounds observations be different from those used in the core ObservSMART platform?
Yes. The Nurse Rounds module can be configured with nursing-specific rounding schedules, observation selections, and documentation requirements to support nurse-specific clinical workflows and regulatory standards.
Does the Nurse Rounds module integrate with our EMR?
Yes. ObservSMART seamlessly integrates with your electronic medical record (EMR), enabling nurse rounding documentation to flow directly into the patient’s clinical record. Nurses can document rounds at the bedside in real time, eliminating the need to return to a workstation to complete charting and improving workflow efficiency.
Does the Nurse Rounds module work across different care settings?
Yes. The Nurse Rounds module supports Acute Hospitals, Behavioral Health, Post-Acute, and other care settings that require scheduled nursing rounds, with configurable workflows, bedside documentation, and EMR integration.
