Abstract
This paper explores the impact of hourly rounding and the implementation of a whiteboard in postpartum women in regards to the care received and outcomes achieved. Namely, this paper examines the question of whether hourly rounding and the use of a whiteboard in postpartum women increases patient satisfaction and pain management immediately after delivery to 72 hours of postpartum stay, particularly when compared to the absence of both rounding and a whiteboard.
Keywords: postpartum, whiteboard, rounding
