Discuss the importance of effective communication in the personal relationship, the therapeutic relationship, and the relationship within the interprofessional health-care team. 

In therapeutic relationships, effective communication is important for setting expectations and creating a plan of care that meets both patient and provider needs. It also helps build rapport between the patient and provider which can improve outcomes.

In interprofessional health-care teams, effective communication is essential for collaboration among team members as well as providing quality patient care. Clear lines of communication enable all team members to share their knowledge and expertise in order to make informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment plans, and overall care coordination.
