IPEP Trainings | PERCS Rounds

PERCS Rounds

Conversations and interactions with patients, families, colleagues, and staff are often challenging and complex. Rounds are intended for clinical staff to share difficult or challenging experiences with each other in a supportive environment, and to learn practical and helpful tools for their every day practice. The rounds are guided by IPEP psycho-social and family faculty, nursing unit champions and leaders, as well as ethics experts. Nursing unit champions determine the topics each month that will be covered at the rounds. The pedagogy of rounds is based on IPEP's Program to Enhance Relational Communication Skills (PERCS). PERCS Rounds topics typically cover real-time issues surrounding moral resiliency, difficult conversations with patients and team members, ethical dilemmas, patient safety, patient-family experience, and self-care. At the end of each rounds, debriefing takes place for the group to suggest ideas for problem solving, learning to access appropriate resources, or to further explore of the topic through researched articles.
