Objective  Existing observational data describing rounds in teaching hospitals are 15 years old, predate duty-hour regulations, are limited to one institution, and do not include pediatrics. We sought to evaluate the effect of medical specialty, institution, patient-census, and team participants upon time at the bedside and education occurring on rounds.    Methods and Participants  Between December of 2007 and October of 2008 we performed 51 observations at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Seattle Children's Hospital, Stanford University Hospital, and the University of Washington Medical Center of 35 attending physicians. We recorded minutes spent on rounds in three location and seven activity categories, members of the care team, and patient-census.    Results  Results presented are means. Pediatric rounds had more participants (8.2 vs. 4.1 physicians,  p<.001 ; 11.9 vs. 2.4 non-physicians,  p<.001 ) who spent more minutes in hallways (96.9 min vs. 35.2 min,  p<.001 ), fewer minutes at the bedside (14.6 vs. 38.2 min,  p = .01 ) than internal medicine rounds. Multivariate regression modeling revealed that minutes at the bedside per patient was negatively associated with pediatrics (−2.77 adjusted bedside minutes; 95% CI −4.61 to −0.93;  p<.001 ) but positively associated with the number of non-physician participants (0.12 adjusted bedside minutes per non physician participant; 95% CI 0.07 to 0.17;  p = <.001 ). Education minutes on rounds was positively associated with the presence of an attending physician (2.70 adjusted education minutes; 95% CI 1.27 to 4.12;  p<.001 ) and with one institution (1.39 adjusted education minutes; 95% CI 0.26 to 2.53;  p = .02 ).    Conclusions  Pediatricians spent less time at the bedside on rounds than internal medicine physicians due to reasons other than patient-census or the number of participants in rounds. Compared to historical data, internal medicine rounds were spent more at the bedside engaged in patient care and communication, and less upon educational activities.
