MDR Rounds: posting barriers

Removing barriers to discharge and patient care, together.

What MDR is

MDR is a daily huddle connecting hospitalists with case management, rehab and therapy, pharmacy, lab, radiology, and nursing leadership, so discharge barriers and patient care issues get resolved in real time.

When: Daily, 0830 start · Where: Exec Conf Room · Remote: Teams

Post your barriers

Post each patient barrier in the MDR Rounds channel (in the Hospitalists team) by 0830. One message per patient, one line, in this order: room and barrier type, patient, ask.

How you get answers

All discussion happens in your patient's thread

The facilitator @mentions the right responder inside your thread, and their answer appears there as a reply.

Find your patients in Followed threads

You automatically follow threads you start, so your patients sit in Followed threads at the top of your chat list. Bold means a new reply is waiting. Never scroll the channel to find your post.

Green checkmark means resolved

The facilitator marks your line with a green checkmark once the loop is closed. If the team needs you live, they will call you on Mobile Heartbeat; after Epic go-live on October 24, Epic Secure Chat replaces Mobile Heartbeat.
