Impact of Interprofessional Communication on Safety in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Background: In light of the complex advances in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), it is essential that healthcare providers (HCPs) are equipped with the appropriate skills to effectively communicate between disciplines to provide safe, quality care. However, many HCPs acknowledge that they are not confident in their ability to communicate effectively with peers.

Purpose And Design: This study aimed to identify perceived barriers and facilitators of communication among HCPs in a NICU setting.
