Webinar Recording

Overview
Research shows that not only do poor nurse-physician relations affect morale and retention, but also patient safety. In order to achieve the best patient outcomes, we need to understand the causes of poor communication and how we can intervene before harm to the patient occurs. This webinar will host a panel of Commissioners from the Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission (NCQAC) and the Washington Medical Commission (WMC) who will share their insights as to how communication can be optimized.
