"Rushed and haphazard discharge instructions. No patient education. A potential medication error. Poor communication and lack of follow through by the healthcare staff. Our family member walked away repeating, "They don’t care. They just don’t care."
When healthcare communication breaks down these are the feelings that patient and family can experience. Clear communication and quality patient education mean much more than fulfilling a regulatory requirement. They are the right of every patient. Providing them is a positive affirmation of caring and why we entered healthcare in the first place".
