frustration for both the “give” and the
receiver

can compromise patient care
23. -1-People are busy and don’t want more work! It takes time
and practice to plan a good handover of patient/client
information
-2-It can be difficult to summarize a complex case succinctly

-It is often asked about things they have already said
-They may not get the help they were expecting
-4-The person receiving the referral may
-Interrupt mid sentence
-Make assumptions about the capability of the caller
Some of the challenges in good
Communication
24. He was focused, but not well prepared…..
-1-The Doctor clearly states what he wants
--He wants the other Doctor to come
and see the Patient
-2-He checks he is talking to the right person
but…He doesn’t have important
information at hand
-3-The main problem is lack of preparation
--How long does it take to prepare ?
--What things should be prepared
