Good Communication

[Marc]

Clinicians are part of your clinical team. If you are in a peripheral facility, methods need to be developed for good communication and at least yearly meetings.

Communicate with the district hospital/clinic concerning all chronic patients,
even when treatment is initiated at the first level facility.

Coordinate care with appropriate clinic/clinicians.

Refer patients back to clinicians as appropriate.

Hi Marc,

What is in your experience a good communication method? Can you give one example?
Why is good communication so important in your opinion?

Thanks,

Laurence
