Based on the database of Taiwan patient-safety reporting system, the concept of interprofessional practice and teamwork is becoming popular and healthcare organizations are gradually emphasizing. A preliminary study at our hospital showed there were 4 main reasons leading to cause incomplete communication: lack of communication system between doctors and nurses, too many discordant messages, not write down the messages, and inability to write a complete health assessment. In this project, we introduced team resource management (TRM) process and quality control circle (QCC) to improve the communication efficiency and promote patient-safety. Using the “TRM leadership” approach, we standardized which kinds of inpatients that ward staff member need to cooperate to care for and developed communication cards to remind staff member of their patient’s conditions. We also used the “ISBAR” approach to standardize content reported on shift papers. Together these solutions, which were introduced and followed up improved communication efficiency. Percentage of incomplete message deliveries decreased from 70% to 14% and the staff satisfaction increased from 50% to 86.7%. In addition, it saved about NT$602,700 because clinical staff member spent less time on dealing with incomplete message deliveries.By sharing our experience with this project with other medical teams, we hope that the relationships between clinical doctors and nurses, healthcare quality and patient-safety can be improved. |
