Letter to the Editor, The Authors Reply, "What Can Be Done to Maintain Positive Patient Experience and Improve Residents' Satisfaction?" and vStandardized Attending Rounds to Improve the Patient Experience: A Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial".

Abstract

We thank Talrai et al. for their comments in response to our randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of standardized rounds on patient, attending, and trainee satisfaction. We agree that many factors beyond rounding structure contribute to resident satisfaction, including those highlighted by the authors, and would enthusiastically welcome additional research in this realm.
