Question

How can effective team communication benefit the patient's progress ? Give an example

Answer 1

An effective team communication benefits the patient's progress as it leads to correct diagnosis and treatment. For example, only when a nurse is able to take the history of a patient correctly and pass it on to the physician can a correct diagnosis is made. While the treatment is administered the teamwork of the entire healthcare staff i.e. nurses who keep a track of the condition of the patient and monitor his vitals and the physicians who recommend the treatment is important for the recovery of the patient.
