Thoughts - Dietitian

Task: "Choose one of these communication aspects and in 300/400 words share the methods you currently use, and suggest possible improvements, on the discussion board below. Read what others have written and respond to 1 or 2" 

Aspect of communication: Sharing Information. 

Methods currently used: Face to face review appointments with patient, family and/or carers, reviewing food, fluid and bowel charts that carers have recorded to share with me over a set period of time, regular stakeholder meetings, stakeholder email threads where updated from different disciplines are posted regularly, letters to specialists/hospital, progress notes and reports including NDIS advocacy reports for funding for PEG formula and consumables. 

Possible improvements: Potentially gathering information from relevant stakeholders prior to face to face appointments incase patient is fatigued and/or carers aren't present to assist, more communication with hospital Dietitians when updating PEG Regimes in community, obtaining all stakeholder contact details from support coordinator upon referral being made and create email thread to link team together from beginning.
