Effective Team Communication

Talking and Listening Matter

Great communication is key in PALS. Teams that talk clearly and listen carefully make better decisions and work faster.

Tips for Communication

  • Assign clear roles at the start
  • Use closed-loop communication (repeat instructions to confirm)
  • Speak up if you notice problems or need help
  • Debrief after each emergency to learn and improve

Good communication saves time and reduces mistakes in stressful situations!

Examples

  • A team member repeats a medication order back to confirm it before giving the drug.

  • After an emergency, the team reviews what worked well and what they can do better next time.
