a

The 8-week Patient Engagement Project Study intervention was delivered at four 4 services (Med-1, Med-2, Peds-1, and Peds-2) at teaching hospitals at Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco between November 2014 and January 2015. Rounds were observed during 12-week pre- and postintervention periods (August to November 2014 and December 2014 to April 2015) to evaluate rounding teams’ SDM behaviors with patients. SDM encounters were restricted to patients who were present during observed rounds (including guardian for pediatrics), did not have altered mental status, and were deemed medically stable by the hospitalist.

%SDM indicates percentage of patients participating in SDM encounters.
