Perception of In-Person Prerounding Amongst Neurology Residents Across Two Academic Centers.

Overall, residents perceived in-person prerounding as inefficient and causing sleep disruption for both patients and themselves. While some residents valued the face-to-face interaction and improved accessibility, others felt that computer rounding allowed for thorough review of patient data, improving preparedness and efficiency. The potential elimination of in-person prerounding from residents' routines may enhance their overall wellbeing. Further research is needed to assess the advantages and drawbacks of removing this classic approach to caring for patients from the perspective of residents, attendings and patients.
