Communication Part III
Part 3: Communicating with co-workers
Summary
Research in healthcare shows that patients frequently experience unnecessary harm as a result of preventable medical errors. These events can result in the substantial suffering of patients, as well as a high financial burden in terms of extended hospital stays and litigation costs. In the intensive care unit (ICU), the complex and multidisciplinary nature of intensive care medicine renders it particularly susceptible to the occurrence of medical errors.
