"I would so love to see that happen. I feel like the pushback would be that we don't have time for an ice cream social," she says. "If it's going to make communication better between the nurses and the doctors, I don't think it's that big of price to pay."
Kelli is a nurse at a leading teaching hospital where communication issues are not only leading to resentment – they could also be affecting patient care. After hearing from Kelli about the larger problems at play in the healthcare space, Anne and Frances discuss the link between communication and transparency and guide Kelli into taking matters into her own hands.
