Abstract
Background
Communication is a critical component of effective teamwork and both are essential elements in providing high quality of care to patients. Yet, communication is not an innate skill but a process influenced by internal (personal/cultural values) as well as external (professional roles and hierarchies) factors.
Objective
To provide illustrative cases, themes and tools for improving communication.
Methods
Literature review and consensus opinion based on extensive experience.
Results
Professional autonomy should be de-emphasized. Tools such as SBAR and simulation are important in communication and teamwork.
Conclusion
Tools designed to improve communication and safety in the aviation industry may have applicability to the pediatric intensive care unit.
