Communication is paramount when it comes to delivering seamless, effective, quality care across multiple locations. From sharing best practices across locations and solving staffing concerns to coordinating care plans and transferring patient information, effective communication is at the heart of quality care. Breakdowns in communication can lead to delays or disruptions in patient care that can impact patient and referral source satisfaction.
Here are four ways to optimize communication for seamless care:
- Interdisciplinary collaboration – It’s essential for members of nursing, therapy, social services, dietary services and more to collaborate. A culture of shared decision-making supports the best interests of patients and facilitates seamless care.
- Standardized protocols – Standardized communication protocols can ensure consistency and accuracy in the information exchanged between locations. This reduces time spent on follow-up communication to gather needed information.
- Quality improvement initiatives – Sometimes, the only way to know what works best is to try different approaches. Quality improvement initiatives focused on enhancing communication processes and addressing communication hiccups can create a more refined process over time.
- Training and education – Make sure all your staff is educated and trained on communication expectations. Give them the resources and information they need to be successful.
