Harsh Communication can Undermine a Culture of Safety

Healthcare professionals often don’t realize how words, tone and actions impact others. At times, colleagues may intervene, and outside resources are often recommended. This course is designed to fulfill credentialing or licensing board requirements for remedial education. It is also suitable for healthcare professionals who simply wish to improve their skills in this critical area.
