Recent data show breakdowns in communication contributed to 16% of sentinel events in Australia, the majority of which were of a surgical nature. Financial costs associated with adverse events are enormous, estimated at around $A2billion/year. Economic burden is predicted to increase with further complexities surrounding patients' surgical care. This study will result in new knowledge about communication patterns to inform the development of reporting methods and strategies that positively influence the practices of healthcare professionals. Strategies could be extrapolated to the broader healthcare sector, and provide tactical direction aimed at averting clinical errors, preventing patient harm and reducing healthcare costs.

最近的数据显示，沟通障碍导致了澳大利亚16%的哨兵事件，其中大部分是外科手术。与不良事件相关的财务成本是巨大的，估计约为每年20亿澳元。随着围绕患者手术护理的进一步复杂化，经济负担预计将增加。这项研究将产生关于沟通模式的新知识，为积极影响医疗保健专业人员实践的报告方法和战略的发展提供信息。可以将战略外推到更广泛的医疗行业，并提供旨在避免临床差错、防止患者伤害和降低医疗成本的战术方向。
