(Cite), the extent to which organisations are coordinated is pivotal to the success and failure of collaborations. Coordination also relates to the mechanisms of interpersonal communication and information exchange. When partners cannot effectively exchange information as expected, they will not properly coordinate delivery of care and other aspects of the partnership working. In other words, lack of information exchange will result in a lack of coordination, and, by extension, lead to conflict. This conflict can be handled by fostering greater interpersonal communication between partners. According to (cite), the essential role of communication is to build trust. This implies that interpersonal communication between partners will help to increase trust, synergy, and improve coordination.

Clinical integration makes it possible for physicians and hospitals to defuse competition and overcome separation. The Accountable Care Organization (ACO) has recently made efforts to take part in clinical care that is provided to patients by sites of care and other providers. This provides an opportunity to manage services by managing chronic illnesses, centralized scheduling, clinical pathways, electronic health records and programs that are innovative.

Collaboration among health care professionals is defined as assuming complementary roles and cooperatively working together, sharing responsibility for problem solving and making decisions to formulate and carry out plans for patient care. (Fagin, 2008). In any field of health care where physicians and nurses interact with one another for the purpose of quality patient care, it is vital for them to work together as one and understand the needs of their patients as well as each other’s roles and responsibilities. In short, teamwork should prevail for excellent patient service. Therefore, being in full partnership as a nurse with the physician and other healthcare professional is another recommendation that is applied by the RWJ-IOM report.

Firstly, I recognize the importance of building a collaborative relationship with patients and their families.
Communication is a tool with which we exercise our influence on others, bring out changes in our and others’ attitudes, motivate the people around us and establish and maintain relationships with them.

This could be to specific group, for instance a support group for deaf people, teaching service users or for meetings. In group communication, every individual participating will try and get their personal ideas and thoughts across, especially if they disagree with a point raised (Storming stage: Tuckman group communication theory). In health and social care, group communication is mostly used in a meeting arrangement, as it allows a number of different agencies or care providers with in one agency to focus on particular aspect of care, or on a service user and the care that currently being provided.

The development of high quality, co-ordinated services across different care settings and sectors requires organisations and agencies to work together. This will include working across organisational boundaries between statutory, voluntary, community and independent sectors.
