HNTKYP: Hourly Rounding and Other Dumb Things
<p>In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Wolf tackle a listener question about hourly rounding, and the conversation quickly evolves into a larger discussion about how healthcare systems often implement sweeping changes with little to no evidence behind them. From "check-the-box" tasks to reactionary policies created after adverse events, they explore how well-intentioned interventions can become burdensome, ineffective, and sometimes even counterproductive. Along the way, they discuss the importance of evidence-based practice, critical thinking, and asking the simple but important question: "What problem are we actually trying to solve?"</p>
