Today the round happens at the bedside and the charting happens later at a workstation, from memory. Rounding puts both in the room.
The record provides the context, the nurse completes the round at the bedside, and HCI ONE returns the approved results.

The rounding reads the same events as the door, the TV, the unit board and the nurse’s phone, so they never disagree.
Thirty minutes, real software. We run a round on a sample chart and show the results landing back in the record.
