The Importance of Clinical Communication in Modern Healthcare
In a healthcare setting, time is critical. Effective clinical communication leverages methods, systems, and workflows to exchange patient and clinical team information, ensuring that the right information reaches the right provider as fast as possible.

It’s also the basis for efficient workflows, improved response times, and overall morale, so it’s critical to get it right.
