I will put 2 references below which you can use for this assignment. The communication process that I want is the Transactional model of communication.The communication process that needs to be improved in my workplace is communication between doctors, nurses, and other Allied health members in the medical ward. The issue is the doctors and other health team members doesn’t communicate properly to nurses, they just either convey messages by writing in case notes and charting medications without conveying them to the nurses, which makes it difficult for the nurses to carry out the work properly and often misses the message conveyed, thus affecting the overall care of the patient. Can you include the elements of thoughts as well while explaining this.
