Nursing Grand Rounds

We're excited to present Nursing Grand Rounds (NGR), an initiative of the Johns Hopkins Health System Inquiry Council!

About Nursing Grand Rounds

Nursing Grand Rounds aims to foster excellence in nursing practice by creating a dedicated space for professional learning and collaboration across the Health System. It offers a structured forum where nurses can:

  • Share clinical knowledge and real-world experience
  • Discuss evidence-based approaches that inform practice
  • Address clinical challenges to enhance patient outcomes and support professional growth

Held three times each year, in January/February, May, and September, NGR is open to all Johns Hopkins Health System employees. Participants can earn free NCPD contact hours for attending.

Choose the format that fits your schedule:

  • In person, at rotating hospitals sites across the Health System
  • On demand, available for 30 days after each session

Nursing Grand Rounds is where together nurses connect, learn and lead.

 This presentation explores two critical areas of pediatric patient safety: the evolution and redesign of Rapid Response Teams (RRT) and the use of Pediatric Early Warning Scores (PEWS) to support early recognition of clinical deterioration. The content examines outcome and process data comparing RRT activations pre- and post-redesign, and reviews the implementation of PEWS at JHCC, including successes, challenges, and opportunities for optimization.
