Communication and Productivity

Communication is a critical component towards ensuring productivity in healthcare

facilities. Good communication enhances productivity in patients’ services in several ways; first,

good communication minimizes the chances of making medical errors in the process of dealing

with the patients (NCBI, 2015). The errors thereof are often causes of patients’ death. In fact,

medical carelessness ranks higher than accidents, diabetes and breast cancer, in regard to the

number of deaths. Good communication translates to effective treatment and proper patient care.

Moreover, poor communication is the major cause of wrong-site surgeries, operative and post-

operative mishaps and fatal falls. Clearly, a lot of errors are avoided with good communication

hence increasing productivity.

Communication and Morale

The morale of health workers is a significant determiner in how they execute their duties.

In this respect, good communication increases trust and mutual respect among the health

workers. Moreover, the subordinate workers acquire a sense of autonomy when good

communication exists with the seniors (NCBI, 2015). With the values in the healthcare settings,

the workers have good relations with each other and believe in themselves and so, it boosts their

morale. On the other hand, bad communication leads to the workers lacking confidence, a sense

of territoriality and mistrusting each other. Subsequently, the workers will lack the motivation

and morale, and end up providing poor services.
