1:2. Communication if not done properly can affect people working in the same place. If it’s done properly it can make work flow easy. It is important that workers understand the language used when communicating because if they don’t understand each other communication can be very difficult.

“Fundamental and vital to all health care managerial functions, communication is a means of transmitting information and making oneself understood by others” (Borkowski, 2015, P. 79). It is clear that communication is a major issue in this case. Performance of an employee depends on his or her ability to effectively interact with the superiors, co-workers within the organization. Interpersonal skill is therefore an important aspect of communication. It can be defined as the “process whereby the individual implements a set of goal-directed, inter-related situationally appropriate social behavior which are learned and controlled” (Berry, 2006, p. 13). There was a very poor impersonal communication between Lawanda and her co-worker in the ICU.…
Policies and procedures are review, revamp and implement constantly in health care facilities to ensure safe patient care is being deliver. Effective communication is a critical part in providing safe patient care. Usefulness communication is essential during shift report in order to provide safe care and meet goals for the patient. There is a trend where hospitals are bringing shift report to the bedside in order to improve the effectiveness of communication between the nurses. At Kaiser Santa Clara, the facility I currently work at, has a standard policy and procedure regarding the handoff communication during shift change, according to the policy the two nurses are to review information that is standardized to the following:…
Communication is essential to meet the needs of vulnerable adults. It is a basic requirement of my job role to communicate with individuals and their families, and other members of staff on a daily basis. Communicating with other staff members ensures effective team working and continuity of care. It also ensures any health and safety issues are recognised and reported. I attend a handover with my colleague at the beginning of each shift and also add note in client files after attending to an individual, thereby keeping other staff informed and aware of current situations within the workplace.…

Change of shift in the nursing profession is unique (Caruso, 2007). Information is transferred between nurses verbally and through written communication. In many facilities shift report from one shift to another involved sitting down and getting all your orders from a caredex and then talking with the previous nurse face to face going over pertinent information regarding their patients. This type of report usually happens in a report room or sometimes in the hallways or other common gathering areas where others may over hear your conversation. The patients are the center of communication but are seldom involved in the process (Caruso, 2007). The importance of an informative and effective nurse-to-nurse report has been highlighted most recently in the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)…

Effective communication is key to promoting knowledge within any healthcare organization. Not only is staff affected by poor communication, but patients as well; who depend on that communication between staff to receive the best quality of care. Poor communication opens the door for errors which could lead to a disaster when it comes to patient care. Since there is so much room for mistake, it is important to understand the proper techniques for sharing information and how we can use those to make communication more effective.…
Communication is life long learning skills for nurses. Communication can be in different forms. It can be verbal or non verbal. Communication is important for nurses because I believe that it helps to bring the clients closer to nurses and help nurses to build a strong professional nurse-client relationship. “Effective communication skills have been shown to improve health outcomes, patient compliance, and patient satisfaction” (Kameg, Mitchell, Chlochesy, Howard & Suresky, 2009). The purpose of learning good communication skills is that it makes nurses able to get as much information from the clients as possible, which helps nurses to assess the client better and get the best outcome for them. Another importance of communication skills in nursing profession is that it enables nurses to build trust and a comfortable working environment with client. Stethoscope is the symbol chosen for communication in the coat of arms. As it was discussed earlier, communication can be verbal and non-verbal. Communication is not always speaking, but it is also listening. When a nurse is taking the client’s vital signs such as blood pressure, he/she has to listen very carefully to the stethoscope in order to get the correct data. Similar to this, nurses must use listening as a part of communication to listen to their clients very carefully in order to obtain correct data. A quite environment is…
Non-verbal communication (written) is also used in a health care environments. Such as hospitals. They use written communication to record medical history, staff Rota’s and formal policies and procedures. This is the most effective way in recording patients’ medical history as it is more accurate and factual. Another example of this form used in hospitals is during ‘handover meetings’. This happens before staff rotation, the staff on shift update the staff about to come on shift with any events or incidents that occurred. These meetings can be informal and rushed, the lack of communication found here can cause problems in hospital productivity as the new staff on shift might not get all…
