Medical errors, a leading cause of death, stem from poor communication. This study uses balance theory to improve patient-provider information transfer in ambulatory surgery settings, enhancing safety.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare quality and patient safety research.
  • Communication science in medical settings.
  • Applied psychology and social theory.

Background:

  • Medical errors are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States.
  • Impaired information transfer and communication are identified as key contributors to medical errors.
  • Patient safety initiatives increasingly focus on addressing communication breakdowns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply balance theory to understand information transfer between patients and healthcare providers.
  • To examine the interactions among balance theory elements within ambulatory surgery contexts.
  • To identify strategies for improving communication processes to enhance patient safety.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing balance theory as a theoretical framework.
