We too are part of the rounding team that attends biweekly. Our team consists of RN's and an MD-- the RN attends the rounds however. We receive about 1-2 cx's per week with this in place. I was curious as to lwmelhad's comments about referrals (or anyone else for that matter.) Who is on your team and what sort of suggestions are you offering, what types of services is your team actually providing? We are mostly doing goals of care cx's for pt's who are difficult to remove from vents and providing options for families who are faced with poor outcomes. We have done a few pain consults too.
