Medical Communication

Introduction

In Psychologist's perspective, an increased communication will be good for satisfying the patients that may give them a mental satisfaction and they feel confident about their emotional issues which ultimately half recover the patient's problems.

In pharmacist's perspective, an increased communication is much necessary as he requires to give advices about the drugs usage, their side effects, and other elements related to medication to the patients as well as to the physicians. Without a proper communication it may be a higher risk to use a medicine, thus it should be properly prescribed to use with satisfaction. To provide a quality health care to patients it is necessary to communicate effectively with patients, hospital staff, and the families of patients. The ways in which the provider of health care communicates information can be equally as significant as the conveying information properly. There is no doubt in the fact that an effective communication is so valuable in providing a quality patient care. Through many surveys on the patients it has been proven that the patients feel anxiety, powerlessness, and vulnerability due to lack of communication.

Importance of effective communication could be estimated by the fact that failures in communication lead to sentinel events. Effective communication ensures patient safety by delivering concrete, clear, concise and unambiguous information (The Joint Commission 2007). Poor communication has been linked to adverse health outcomes for the patient. In more than 70% of sentinel events communication failure was found to be the primary cause (Leonard 2004, p.85-90).
