Key result
Advanced practice provider grand rounds increase self-reported competence, performance, and perceived impact on patient outcomes.
Why the study?
A framework for the development, implementation, and effect of advanced practice provider grand rounds was needed to enhance APP engagement and education.
An advanced practice provider grand rounds initiative is a feasible model for increasing provider engagement and enhancing evidence-based medical knowledge.
Supports feasibility of APP grand rounds; leaves open translation of perceived gains to objective competence or outcomes.
This article describes a framework for the development, implementation, and effect of advanced practice provider (APP) grand rounds. A team of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), NPs, and physician associates/assistants (PAs) developed and operationalized a grand rounds initiative in 2019. Since January 2020, 34 live monthly learning sessions have been held in person and virtually. Surveys using Likert-scale questions were provided postattendance to attendees to assess educational growth and opportunities for improvement in future programming. Attendees also were offered an opportunity to give open-ended feedback. Recordings of each presentation were analyzed to identify content alignment with stated academic medical center system goals. Most attendees reported increased projected medical competence, performance, and perceived projected effect on patient outcomes after attending grand rounds. Grand rounds are a novel model for increasing PA, NP, certified nurse-midwife, and CRNA engagement; enhancing evidence-based medical knowledge; and advancing stated academic medical center system goals.

Pinyan et al. (2024) studied this question. Advanced practice provider (APP) grand rounds was evaluated on Self-reported projected medical competence, performance, and perceived projected effect on patient outcomes. Advanced practice provider grand rounds increased self-reported projected medical competence, performance, and perceived projected effect on patient outcomes among attendees.
