Abstract:

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015. This bookwas conceived in response to the increasingrecognitionof the central role of communication in effective healthcare delivery, particularly in high-stress contexts such as emergency departments. Over a three-year period, theresearchteam investigated communication between patients and clinicians (doctors, nurses and allied health professionals) in five representative emergency departments(EDs). Combining qualitative ethnographic analysis of the social practices of each ED with discourse analysis of the spoken interactions between clinicians and patients, the book describes the communicative complexity and intensity of work in the ED and, against this backdrop, identifies the features of successful and unsuccessful patient-clinician interactions. Drawing on authentic examples of communication within the ED, the book providesdetailed, comprehensive communication strategies for healthcare professionalsthat can be readilytransferred andintegrated into everyday practice. “Professor Diana Slade and her colleagues have written an innovative and practical book on communication and relationships in emergency departments and their effects on the patient experience. Rarely does one find a book that so seamlessly translates research findings into practical action strategies.The book is an invaluable resource for the training of physicians, nurses, hospital administrators and others in healthcare.“Elizabeth A.
