It really is the key to clinical governance and demands as much attention, respect and sustaining as other seemingly ‘harder’ targets. However, often the mere mention of the importance of communication causes less than positive reactions in healthcare professionals.”(Jelphs, 2006, senior fellow at theHealth Services Management Centre at the University of Birmingham)

12. WIIFM: What’s in it for me? Effective use of information and communication technologies can enhance inter-professional collaboration. Effective use of information and communication technologies is essential to the delivery of high quality health care. Poor use of information and communication technologies is a common contributor of unintended patient harm.
