RESPOND WITH 175 WORDS TO DISCUSSION #1 (A.R.) The connection between effective teamwork and communication is l to obtain a positive outcome. Good communication within a team improves team interactions, increases trust, and creates higher job satisfaction. In addition, effective teamwork and communication create a higher level of customer care and fewer clinical errors.  As an employee, to foster a more collaborative workplace I can identify team goals, identify my responsibilities, and establish good communication skills with my team. I would also need to establish good listening skills and give positive feedback to my coworkers. As a manager, to foster a more collaborative workplace I would exercise open communication with staff. In any successful organization, communication is key. Establishing listening skills would also foster a more collaborative workplace. By creating good communication between management and staff not only will the organization succeed but quality patient care will be created.  At my current employer, we have monthly “huddles” to discuss patient care and flow and how it can be improved. An employee of each department within the organization is present to give feedback. This works well because all departments communicate and come together to work on improving patient care and satisfaction.
