Walking rounds can be either nursing rounds, physician-nurse rounds, or interdisciplinary rounds. Walking rounds is a reporting method used when the members of the care team walk to each patient's room and discuss care and progress with each other and the patient. Rounds are more time-consuming than end-of-shift report but give the nurse and the patient the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of care together. Nursing rounds are also used as a teaching method.
