Abstract
Effective clinical practice must not focus only on technological system issues, but also on the human factor. As shown in this chapter,good communication encourages collaboration and helps prevent errors. It is important for health care organizations to assess possible setups for poor communication and be diligent about offering programs and outlets to help foster team collaboration. By addressing this issue, health care organizations have an opportunity to greatly enhance their clinical outcomes.

BMJError, stress, and teamwork in medicine and aviation: cross sectional surveys
1,592 Citations2000J. Bryan Sexton
Medical staff reported that error is important but difficult to discuss and not handled well in their hospital and barriers to discussing error are more important since medical staff seem to deny the effect of stress and fatigue on performance.

467 Citations2002Alan H. Rosenstein
Analysis of the first 1,200 responses from nurses, physicians, and hospital executives suggests that daily interactions between nurses and physicians strongly influence nurses' morale, and the quality of nurse-physician relationships must be addressed as facilities seek to improve nurse recruitment and retention.
