Grand Rounds to Provide Feedback on Procurement Activities

Abstract Introduction The Argentine Society of Transplants has set in motion an activity called Grand Rounds to Provide Feedback on Procurement Activities with the purpose of informing, training, and creating awareness by providing information about the evolution of transplanted patients. Objective To measure, describe and analyze the impact that the transplant results presented at the rounds had on participants. Results One hundred and fifty-eight surveys were conducted. The respondents' average age was 40.06 years (95% confidence interval [CI 95%] 38.39–41.73) including 52.08% women (CI 95%: 43.92%–60.24%); 77.14% physicians (CI 95%: 84.09%–70.18%); 7.85% nurses (CI 95%: 3.4%–12.31%;) and 4.28% surgical nurses and other professional (CI 95%: 0.93%–7.64). When asked how comforted they felt when they learnt about a transplantation, the score prior to the round was 4 (CI 95%: 3.79–4.20) and after it, 4.8 (CI 95%: 4.69–4.90; P P P Conclusions This widely accepted tool was viewed as a vehicle to interconnect links in the work process from organ procurement to transplantation.
