Area of Science:

  • Healthcare communication
  • Surgical nursing
  • Physician-resident interaction

Background:

  • Effective nurse-physician communication is vital for high-quality patient care.
  • Current interprofessional communication in general surgery, often via pagers, faces challenges like information gaps and tensions.
  • These issues can lead to workflow interruptions, medical errors, and reduced job satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define current patterns of interprofessional communication (IPC) in general surgery.
  • To understand the enablers and barriers affecting IPC.
  • To optimize communication technologies, teamwork, provider satisfaction, and patient care quality and safety.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods multiphasic approach combining quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Phase 1: Content analysis of alpha-numeric pages (ANP) to develop a paging taxonomy and analyze frequency, timing, and content.
  • Phase 2: Interviews, shadowing, and surveys with general surgery residents and nurses to explore experiences and attitudes towards IPC.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of current paging practices will identify inefficiencies and root causes.
  • Identification of key contextual barriers to nurse-house staff communication.
  • Understanding of interprofessional knowledge and practice gaps in surgical settings.

Conclusions:

  • Findings will inform the development of guidelines and interventions to improve IPC.
  • Aims to enhance the quality and safety of patient care.
  • Expected to improve the educational experience and provider satisfaction in general surgery.
