| Popis: | Introduction Failure to effectively communicate between disciplines negatively impacts patient care, and therefore, outcomes and satisfaction. The integration ofspecific communication skill sets between disciplines is not commonly a part oftraditional curriculum across health care programs. Case and Outcomes Patient scenario where inter-disciplinary communication is the focus, not the specific patient situation. Discussion Radiology students in clinical rotation were able to identify instances of failed inter-disciplinary communication within the clinical setting and, using Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory techniques discussed and practiced in didactic training, were able to identify communication techniques to use in similar circumstances. Conclusion Fostering the development of inter-disciplinary communication strategiesin the educational setting provides the foundation for continued use at the bedside. Identifying barriers to effective communication, discussing the ramifications of communication failures, examining solutions provided in evidence-based practice and learning how to apply these solutions to a variety of clinical settings can positively impact patient outcomes, and therefore, satisfaction, as well as enhance employee engagement. |
