NCT ID NCT07215507
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study at Duke University Hospital tests whether changing the timing of physician rounds improves communication satisfaction for high-risk pregnant patients who need long hospital stays. Currently, patients get two visits: an early morning bedside round and a later team discussion. The new approach combines them into one later-morning visit after the team reviews charts. About 200 patients will be randomly assigned to either the standard or new method, and their feedback on doctor communication will be compared.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioural intervention: timing of physician rounds
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple change in hospital routines that makes high-risk pregnant patients feel more heard and respected.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study at one hospital, so results may not apply elsewhere. It only measures satisfaction, not medical outcomes, and some patients may prefer the standard approach.
