TL;DR
Shared agreement of patients' daily goals among key healthcare providers can be increased through process-oriented interventions, which will potentially lead to improved quality of patient care and reduced medical errors.
Abstract
Shared agreement of patients' daily goals among key healthcare providers can be increased through process-oriented interventions. Improved agreement will potentially lead to improved quality of patient care and reduced medical errors.
