It is an opportunity to learn about taking a history, examining patients, ordering tests, and making decisions about management. If the person leading the round takes some time with the students and trainees, then they should learn a great deal about clinical medicine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But ward rounds should be primarily patient-centred and it can be hard to fit in both education and clinical care. In the past, ward rounds have sometimes been uncomfortable for patients. It can be intimidating to face a team of clinicians and to answer their questions and sometimes to muster up the courage to ask your own questions. Certainly, the patient in this photograph seems discomfited and worried (1).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2018\/06\/kieran_walsh_ward_photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-42436\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2018\/06\/kieran_walsh_ward_photo-1024x786.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2018\/06\/kieran_walsh_ward_photo-1024x786.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2018\/06\/kieran_walsh_ward_photo-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2018\/06\/kieran_walsh_ward_photo-768x589.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2018\/06\/kieran_walsh_ward_photo-640x491.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The photograph was taken in 1910, but it brings to mind Thomas Bernhard\u2019s comment on the ward round about fifty years later: \u201cevery day they appeared in front of my bed a white wall of unconcern\u201d. (2) The number of staff suggests that it might have been a hospital where there was a lot of teaching\u2014but that would be scant comfort to the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Things have improved since 1910\u2014today doctors are more likely to be mindful of the feelings of the patient. However other challenges have arisen in the meantime. Technology in medicine now means that there can be new barriers between the doctors on the ward round and their patient. Doctors have to look at blood results, ECGs, and radiology scans as well as talk to the patient. Sometimes they have to look things up online\u2014if they are unsure of what they should do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do patients feel about this? Much depends on the patient and their exact circumstances\u2014but there is some evidence that patients don\u2019t mind their doctors looking things up\u2014a study by Patel et al showed that some of them even feel reassured by this. (3) But it also showed that a great deal depends on context. Patients feel comfortable with junior doctors looking up medications and sometimes think that this is a sign of humility in their doctor as it shows that the doctor knows that they don\u2019t know everything. But they probably wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable with a doctor who had to check more basic things. Patients also wanted the doctor to explain what they were looking up\u2014so they didn\u2019t think that the doctor was being distracted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This makes me wonder whether we should develop more social rituals around our use of technology in medicine? We use rituals in lots of our other clinical practices. A consultant that I used to work for told me that he always washed his hands slowly and thoroughly in front of his patients. There were lots of sinks in other clinical areas that he could have used, but he wanted to show the patient what he was doing and so ease them into the consultation slowly. The doctor in Steinbeck\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pearl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> made a great play of showing off his medical equipment\u2014as he knew that his patients loved the \u201cthe tools of any craft and trust them.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Should we have other rituals around using our mobile phones to look things up? Healthcare professionals often complain about alerts on their computer screens\u2014that they are a distraction from their patients. But could we turn this on its heads and have different types of alerts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BMJ Best Practice is our own clinical decision support tool. Should we have an alert on it that says\u2014\u201cIf looking things up at point of care, then tell your patient what you are doing\u201d? Or better still\u2014look it up with your patient?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Kieran Walsh<\/strong>\u00a0is clinical director of <a href=\"http:\/\/learning.bmj.com\/learning\/home.html\">BMJ Learning<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bestpractice.bmj.com\/\">BMJ Best Practice<\/a>.
