Reducing Medical Errors Through Collaborative Practice Between Nurses And Doctors.

Abstract

Reducing medical errors is a critical goal in improving patient safety and healthcare outcomes. Collaborative practice between nurses and doctors has been recognized as an essential approach to minimizing medical errors and enhancing the quality of care provided to patients. This partnership leverages the complementary skills and expertise of both healthcare professionals, ensuring better communication, coordinated decision-making, and a comprehensive approach to patient management. Effective teamwork fosters a shared understanding of patient conditions, reduces misunderstandings, and helps prevent mistakes related to medication administration, diagnostics, and treatment plans. By creating a culture of open communication and mutual respect, nurses and doctors can collectively address gaps in care and improve patient outcomes. This paper explores the role of collaborative practice in reducing medical errors and highlights strategies for enhancing teamwork and communication between nurses and doctors in clinical settings.
