This novel project targets an important yet difficult clinical scenario: counseling patients facing high-risk surgery. To improve surgeon-patient communication in these situations, Kruser and colleagues[1] developed a training program based on a "best case/worst case" communication tool. The two-hour training was followed by individual coaching and application to both standardized patients and actual hospitalized patients. Interactions were audio-recorded, and additional evaluation data were obtained from the surgeons and follow-up interviews with patient and families.

Clean, efficient, separate. Boom.
But on her first full day as a young physician, Brashers – overflowing with knowledge of pulmonology and asthma’s disease process – couldn’t administer an IV drip because the clinic’s nurse had gone home. And “poof,” an idea was born.

According to a commentary posted in Harvard Business Review, hospitals can boost outcomes and patient engagement through improved cultural competency, that is, the ability to successfully relate to and engage patients from minority communities. Olympia Duhart, a law professor at Nova Southeastern University whose scholarship has focused on government accountability for historically marginalized groups, wrote that there is often a cultural gap between doctors and patients that can negatively impact patient outcomes.
