ABOUT THIS CERTIFICATE

Rounding is an essential and critical practice in healthcare for delivering high-quality care and enhancing patient safety and outcomes that involves systematic, purposeful visits by nurses or healthcare staff to check on patients at regular intervals. This proactive approach addresses immediate patient needs and fosters better communication and responsiveness among staff.

Research indicates that effective rounding contributes to positive patient experiences and significantly improves patient satisfaction and safety outcomes—such as reduction in frequency of call lights , fall injuries and patient anxiety— while also fostering better communication, collaboration and responsiveness among healthcare teams.


Designed for leaders who are committed to enhancing experience excellence through relationships, improving quality, and boosting employee and physician engagement, the Relationship Rounding certificate from The Healthcare Experience Foundation (HXF) bridges the gap between traditional rounding practices and a modern, humanistic approach to building and broadening relationships and ultimately trust with patients, staff, and physicians.


This program is based on our transformative approach to empowering leaders to move beyond the “task” of rounding to a high-impact leadership competency and process to drive retention, quality, and patient experience results.

"Patient Experience, and equally Employee and Physician Experience, is a priority; it is something that we (despite our best intentions) miss the mark. I'm proud that MHEI partners with Healthcare Experience Foundation and for the launch of the HX Academy because it brings just in time resources for organizations who are committed to adding to their improvement toolbox."
