The Importance of Clinical Communication in Modern Healthcare
In a healthcare setting, time is critical. Effective clinical communication leverages methods, systems, and workflows to exchange patient and clinical team information, ensuring that the right information reaches the right provider as fast as possible. Communication plays a role in nearly every aspect of the healthcare setting, but it’s most important for delivering exceptional patient care. It’s also the basis for efficient workflows, improved response times, and overall morale, so it’s critical to get it right.

The topic of healthcare communication typically focuses on conversations between patients and providers. While this is certainly crucial to delivering quality care, internal communication between healthcare team members also plays a critical role.

These patient handoffs can increase the chance for errors or delays in care if communication isn’t strong.
