Communication in the electronic age: an analysis of face-to-fact physician-nurse communication in the emergency department.
This study described the patterns and content of nurse to physician verbal conversations in three emergency departments (EDs) with electronic health records. It found that physician participants experienced significantly more communication events than nurse participants, while nurses initiated significantly more communication events than physicians. Most of the communication events occurred at the physician workstation followed by patient treatment areas.

"Best case/worst case": training surgeons to use a novel communication tool for high-risk acute surgical problems.
"Best Case/Worst Case" (BC/WC) is a communication tool designed to promote goal-concordant care during discussions about high-risk surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate a structured training program designed to teach surgeons how to use BC/WC. It concluded that : surgeons can learn to use BC/WC with older patients considering acute high-risk surgical interventions..

Implementation and impact of patient lay navigator-led advance care planning conversations.
Advance care planning (ACP) improves alignment between patient preferences for life-sustaining treatment and care received at end of life (EOL). This study evaluated implementation of lay navigator-led ACP and concluded that a navigator-led ACP program was feasible and may be associated with lower rates of resource utilization near EOL.
