Patient Rooming

  • 1.  Patient Rooming

    Posted 09-26-2025 16:01

    Hello,

    There is a group at my organization looking into best practices for patient rooming. If anyone is willing to share what information you/your staff gather during the rooming process (e.g., vitals, height/weight, history, medication review, allergies, etc.) that would be helpful. Thank you!

    Hello Emily,

    Our organization utilizes a Rooming Audit Tool to track tasks to be completed during the rooming process. As for vital signs, those are based on provider preferences. I will email you our tool.

    I would love to have a copy of the tool as we are currently also looking at efficiencies to our rooming protocol.  We seem to keep adding tasks but not necessarily taking anything away. Appreciate any insight.
