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.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Nov 2025

Expected to finish

Feb 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
