Communication is the response you get when you
send a message, regardless of YOUR intent.

4.
Communication is an interaction between two individuals in the
transfer of information.
It is important because it is the front-line safety net at the front-line
of patient care in critical and urgent situations.
It is also important because effective communication, or the lack of
it, has been strongly linked to adverse events and medical errors.

Affects the entire team’s functioning
Numerous endorsements (hand-overs) – level of care, 24/7
environments, shifts
Shared Responsibilities – M.D.s, R.N.s, Therapies,
Consults, Ancillary services, etc.
Establish diagnosis and plan procedures and therapy
Patient outcomes depend on accurate transfer of
information from one care-provider to another in the right
manner and at the right time in the right context.

Effective communication is
challenged by the co-existence
of intra-personal, inter-personal
and organisational
dynamics.

8.
Disposition – positive, negative
Cognitive load – too much to think about
Competence – Are you knowledgeable and are you able to
apply that knowledge?
Confidence – Your level of confidence can either be
inspiring to others or dampen their enthusiasm
Stress – Can be internal, or due to external factors
(financial, matrimonial, familial, etc.)

Past experience with the sender of the message
Conflict between the two – sender and recipient
Language and cultural differences between two
health providers or between the provider and the
patient
Gender issues
Hierarchy issues
Misinterpreting non-verbal communication

Production pressures
Resources to do your work effectively – human resources, supplies,
equipment, etc.
Diffusion of responsibility – too many of us are responsible for health-care
and this can create problems in the flow of work if clear guidance
is not available
Authority gradient – can either be a boon or a bane, depending on
where you are in relation to the hierarchy
Interruptions, distractions, etc. can hamper effective communication
and even prevent smooth transfer of information, putting the safety of
the patient and/or provider at risk.

S: RN identifies self, patient and states purpose of the call and
informs the physician of the deterioration of the patient
B: RN gives the background of the patient
A: RN describes the change in the patient’s assessment
R: RN recommends what he/she thinks should be done
Q: She listens to the physician and then asks question on any doubts
that he/she may have
Note: Repeating the instructions of the physician BACK is
extremely important in ensuring that the communication was error-free
and effective

C: I am CONCERNED
U: I am UNCOMFORTABLE
S: I do not think the current situation is SAFE
The CUS is a SIGNAL PHRASE. It is like a red light that asks the person opposite
to stop and listen, and act accordingly
If the recipient of the CUS signal IGNORES or DISREGARDS the signal, it is
DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR or IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR and then you need
to evoke the next technique of conflict resolution.
Let us listen to an audio for demonstration purposes.
Dr. Taher Y. K. ps/eff comm 15-10-2014 20

If you believe that the patient’s health is being compromised
and
You have been assertive in your communication
and
You have failed to get the provider’s attention or he is acted in a
disruptive manner,
Then
Let the provider know you are going up the CHAIN OF COMMAND
And will STOP ONLY WHEN YOUR CONCERN IS RESOLVED.

NORMAL
The provider must listen attentively to the CUS
He/she must acknowledge the concerns mounted by the
communicator
Both the parties should maintain a mutually respectful
demeanour
If there is disagreement, the provider must provide a clear
explanation or rationale for disregarding the other
person’s concern or for not changing the line of thinking or
treatment

We have discussed what communication means
What are the challenges to effective communication
What are the ways to communicate effectively – Assertive communication and the
SBARQ
What are the methods to resolve conflict – the CUS and the Two challenge Rule
Remember: Effective Communication is the Human Connection; it is
the KEY to your personal and career success. In the field of
Healthcare, which is a very complex system, it can prevent
disruptions, medical errors and even save lives.
