The ISBAR tool is one strategy that has been implemented in hospitals in recent years to improve communication practices. The Nurse Unit Manager (NUM) has identified incidences of error or patient harm as a direct result of poor communication practices amongst staff on your ward over the past few months. As a Registered Nurse working on the ward, the NUM has asked you to develop one (1) strategy (other than ISBAR) that could be implemented to improve communication amongst staff to promote patient safety. For this assessment task you are required to:
Identify one (1) key strategy from the literature for improving communication practices, discuss how this strategy could lead to increased patient safety; and how this strategy relates to the National Standards.
Explain how the identified strategy is to be implemented on the ward
Critically discuss the implications for professional nursing practice in implementing the identified strategy.
