INTRODUCTION
Clinical practices are considered as the statements which can be any suggestions,
recommendations which further provides an assessment of the benefits as well as harms of the
practices (Berney and et.al, 2013). It can include various practices and strategies that can be used
for the overall improvement of the system, thus maintaining an efficient clinical handover and
well communication within the practitioners and with the patients as well. The report includes
the various methods and ways by which the communication between the patients and the clinical
handover can be improved.
1. Aim and Evidence that the issue is worth solving
To investigate ways for achieving an efficient patient communication and clinical
handover.
An efficient communication between the previous and current practitioner, and also with
the patient acts as an effective tool in providing better care to the patient. Any
miscommunication between any of these can lead to severe errors which can be of high costs as
well. It is the responsibility of the previous practitioner to provide well and complete
information of the patient to the current one (Henderson and et.al, 2010). This will help the
current clinician to understand the issue well, so that the patient can be provided with the well
and suitable treatment. Efficient teamwork can help in achieving the goal faster. The problem is
worth solving as it is concerned with the safety of the patients first, then on the achievement of
goals of the practitioners. The process of clinical handover provides an efficient interaction
between the practitioners or nurses along wit the patients. A poor or inefficient clinical handover
can make a sort of discontinuity with the patient and can also cause various medical errors. So, it
is worth focusing as it ensures the safety of the patient along wit it, maintains the continuity
between the nurse and the patient.
2. Relevance of Clinical Governance
Clinical governance is considered as an organised way for maintaining and modifying (if
necessary) the standards of handling and taking care of the patients. There are seven pillars of
clinical governance that have been used for delivering the quality care to the patients. These
includes involvement of the public, clinical adults, management for the risk factors and the staff,
training and development, clinical efficacy along with the data and information. Usually,
