Successful communication is essential for Patient-Centered Care

Structuation Theory Safety Culture is looked at as a CLINICIAN'S actions and HOSPITAL STRUCTUREs. Healthcare team members share safety values through communication. they act upon these through their practice. OVER TIME these safety habits become the hospital's safety culture system. this theory "constrains and enables the actions of the members in terms of patient safety." (Groves 2011). This structurational idea reveals multiple opportunities for safety culture improvement.
