| Abstract |
Surgical patient outcomes are directly affected by nurse and physician communication. Evidence indicates that post-surgical patients are more likely to be involved in their care at home with the use of standardized teaching methods. This project aims to promote improved communication and patient outcomes by standardizing the discharge process with the use of a standardized checklist within surgical services. This project will include tools, resources, and education to help surgical nurses simplify the discharge process with their patients while improving communication techniques between nurses and providers. Education will benefit surgical nurses as they care for and do discharge teaching with their patients within surgical services. Family caregivers will also benefit from this project by developing confidence in postsurgical care for their loved one at home by ensuring that they understand all applicable orders for care. In addition, physicians and nurses will see improved clarification of orders through evidence-based communication techniques. |
