Health Care Relationships

Explore the relationships, resources and interactions within the health care community. To effectively function within an increasingly complex health care system, you will need skills such as accessing and identifying community resources, negotiating collaborative relationships, team building, contract negotiation, maintaining professional networks and understanding the impact of technology. To meet the demands of these new relationships, communication skills will be updated so that the nurse will function at a high level of teacher, counselor and facilitator. Current research will be examined and discussed in relation to the changes occurring in the health care system and how relationships will be structured.
