'Critical conversations' important in care process

摘要

While interventions such as "time-cuts" have gained support as important safety tools during procedures, not nearly as much attention has been paid to similar interventions where procedures are not involved. But similar tools are also extremely important in several such situations, argued a group of researchers from the University of California schools of medicine and nursing in San Francisco, who developed a set of interventions they call "critical conversations" for three key points of time during the care process: Admission, changes in clinical condition, and dis?charge.
