Effective techniques
Communication is always important no matter what type of organization or environment it may be. Feed back and the teams approach can determine how effective and ineffective the organization is.

Machines are starting to take on more responsibility than people; so many healthcare organizations are hiring only one person per duty which does not leave much room for people to work as a team. No matter how it is viewed communication is very important and working as a team to make an organization successful is a good start.
