Answer 1

Ans) Effective clinical practice must not focus only on technological system issues, but also on the human factor. As shown in this chapter,good communication encourages collaboration and helps prevent errors. It is important for health care organizations to assess possible setups for poor communication and be diligent about offering programs and outlets to help foster team collaboration. By addressing this issue, health care organizations have an opportunity to greatly enhance their clinical outcomes.

- The ambition of delivering quality patient care is subject to high performance through patient focused teams. However, we need to close a gap between traditional practices and the new attitudes required from an effective team to achieve such a great ambition. Therefore, health care organizations should aim at providing exceptional patient care by adopting wide team based culture in which certain values and principles are shared and transparently communicated among team members including patients who should be placed in the heart of the care.
