Nurses should promote collaborative planning to provide safe, high-quality, patient-centered health care. As nurses, we probably know patients best since we spend much more time with them than any other member of the healthcare team. We are the intermediary between the patient and the rest of the healthcare team. We need to identify a problem or potential problem and bring it to the attention of the entire healthcare team. We must facilitate mutual trust, respect, shared decision-making and open communication among all those involved in patient care. With the collaborative support of the entire healthcare team, patients are in a much better position and are more likely to make an informed and deliberate decision. Additionally, collaboration within the healthcare team can facilitate communication among healthcare providers and provide a channel for providers to relieve stress caused by ethical dilemmas they encounter at work. Peer support is very important for healthcare providers to maintain their emotional and psychological balance.
