In order to care for patients effectively, healthcare professionals need to be able to work together and communicate effectively.  When I first began this program, I lacked confidence and professional communication skills essential to communicate as one provider to another.  I did not always use the proper scientific terms, my report was often unorganized, and I did not always know how to communicate my assessment findings in a clear way.  At this point, I am able to communicate with healthcare members including mid-levels, physicians, and nursing staff to coordinate care effectively and efficiently.  It is very important to be able to communicate patient cases effectively so that patients get the appropriate treatment and care.  It's also essential that healthcare providers are able to work together in a respectful way to ensure quality care is carried out. Provers are expected to communicate and work together to ensure that patients reach their health goals.
