This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication is an important part of a collaborative relationship. In healthcare, lack of communication can lead medical failures to patient errors, and even patient death. Communication failures account to 70% of 2455 annual sentinel events, and 76% of persons having a sentinel event and with subsequent death. Nurse-physician collaboration is defined as “an interpersonal process where physicians and nurses present with shared objects”. Both physicians and nurses need to have equity in decision-making, and in the responsibility of managing the patient in order to decrease patient mortality and improve quality of patient. In order to evoke effective communication between both parties, there needs to be elements of respect and mutual trust in the relationship. The purpose of this grant proposal is to describe research to explore and measure the differences in perception of collaboration amongst physician and nurses on the medical surgical, and intermediate care units of a southern California hospital. A healthcare association between the distinctive units regarding nurse-physician collaboration differences may suggest interventions to enhance collaboration. Enhanced collaboration may increase the nurse’s job satisfaction, decrease nurse burnout, facilitate retention of nurses and decrease hospital financial strain resulting from high staff turnover rates. Ultimately patient’s benefit from decreased medical errors resulting from miscommunications amongst physicians and nurses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of interdisciplinary rounds (IDR) on a neurology medical-surgical inpatient unit. Existing research shows that IDR improves nurse-physician relationships and satisfaction and improves patient outcomes. Using the Collaboration and Satisfaction about Care Decisions (CSACD) tool developed by Baggs, nurse-physician collaboration and satisfaction was measured pre and post implementation of interdisciplinary rounds. Twenty-one nurses and five physicians participated in the study which included education sessions, a two week trial of IDR, and a pre and post survey. Nurses and physicians in this sample perceived a significant increase in collaboration (X = 5.6563, P = 0.0174) after IDR implementation (Figure 2). There was also an increase in perceived satisfaction, although not statistically significant (X = 3.3629, P = 0.0667). Nurses scored significantly lower (indicating less agreement) than physicians in regards to collaboration (X = 4.8864, P = 0.0271) and satisfaction (X = 5.3332, P = 0.0209); nurses were less satisfied with the collaboration between nurses and physicians during the decision making process.

It will also raise awareness of the wide range of theories that can inform interprofessional teamwork. The book is divided into nine chapters. The first 'sets the scene' by outlining some common issues which underpin interprofessional teamwork, while the second discusses current teamwork developments around the globe. Chapter 3 explores a range of team concepts, and Chapter 4 offers a new framework for understanding interprofessional teamwork. The next three chapters discuss how a range of range of social science theories, interventions and evaluation approaches can be employed to advance this field. Chapter 8 presents a synthesis of research into teams the authors have undertaken in Canada, South Africa and the UK, while the final chapter draws together key threads and offers ideas for future of teamwork.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.

It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care.

This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.
