Regression Model Category Variable Adjusted Odds Ratio (95% CI)[ a ] P–Value
Self Reported Rounding Quality Structure Academic Institution 0.417 (0.148–1.172) 0.097
Standard Start Time 10.646 (2.707–41.869) 0.001
Process Frequent Interruptions[ b ] 0.321 (0.121–0.853) 0.023
Outcome Safe 2.537 (0.972–6.619) 0.057
Timely (Not delaying patient care) 4.806 (1.507–15.326) 0.008
Self Reported Room for Improvement Structure Time Spent Per Patient (minutes)[ c ] 1.062 (1.015–1.111) 0.009
Process Frequent Interruptions[ b ] 2.728 (1.318–5.648) 0.007
Outcome Safe 0.306 (0.145–0.648) 0.002
Timely (Not delaying patient care) 0.434 (0.180–1.048) 0.063

a Odds ratio > 1 for self reported rounding quality indicates the variable is positively associated with an increased odds of reporting a higher rounding quality score on the ordinal scale. Odds ratio > 1 for self reported room for improvement indicates the variable is positively associated with an increased odds of reporting more room for improvement score on the ordinal scale.

b Reporting at least one interruption usually or always occurs during rounds

c Included as continuous variables
