Communication for Healthcare

by Catherine Anne Berglund

Communication skills are essential in health care. All practitioners listen to patients, interpret what they see and hear, remember what they had read and heard from others, and make sense of the information as they implement some type of health care process. Communication for Health Care
provides the key information steps in health care. Placing communication in context, where professionals meet and work with patients, alongside other memebers of their own profession, and with members of different professions in one health care team, this concise text covers both written and spoken
communication, which are common elements in treatment contexts.
