Can We Talk? How to Improve Clinical Team Communication

In our analysis of Constellation^® malpractice claims, communication breakdowns are a contributing factor in over one-third of harm events, accounting for almost 40% of costs. Communication breakdowns among the clinical care team represent almost half of those claims and result in diagnostic errors, surgical errors and improper medical treatment.

This webinar will outline how to help your teams improve culture, communication and collaboration to reduce risk.

Objectives:

1. Learn about communication factors among the clinical care team that result in harm and malpractice claims.
2. Understand how a collaborative culture and effective communication among the care team can help reduce the risk of harm events.
3. Identify tools and resources to improve culture, teamwork and communication among the care team.
