ONE IN 10 PATIENT SAFETY INCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY POOR COMMUNICATION
See our latest paper from Annals of Internal Medicine
lnkd.in/eYbFZeDn
- Our study had data from 67 826 patients
- Poor communication is the only identified cause of 1 in 10 patient safety incidents
- Poor communication is a contributory (one among many) cause of 1 in 4 patient safety incidents
We also know from our other research that good communication can be taught.
