Patients navigating complex healthcare systems are reliant on the ability of care coordination staff, discharge planners, nurse leaders, and other healthcare professionals to achieve effective communication. What does effective communication require? It requires that everyone directly and indirectly involved in the care of the patient have the same knowledge and understanding of that patient’s needs and plan of care. This course—an installment in the Effective Care Coordination and Discharge series—covers key aspects of effective communication processes that need to take place during patient handoffs between levels of care, service lines, and healthcare settings. Lesa Schlatman, RN, BSN explains how to build communication pathways that reduce care gaps and information errors while improving patient-centered communication across each care continuum.
