Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall goal will be to explore the effectiveness of caring communication coaching with the implementation of a discharge tool in the acute care setting and its impact on the nurse-patient relationship. Integrating communication strategies through a caring lens with an educational tool will seek to address the missing components that satisfy patient care experience, satisfaction with care, prevention of complications, reduction of readmission rates, and improved outcomes. This study will evaluate how these interventions can narrow the gap in the literature and enhance the quality of patient care which can ultimately improve health outcomes.
