Healthcare systems are complex in that they are diverse in both structure (e.g. nursing units, pharmacies, emergency departments, operating rooms) and professional mix (e.g. nurses, physicians, pharmacists, administrators, therapists) and made up of multiple interconnected elements with adaptive tendencies in that they have the capacity to change and learn from experience.
However, scientific patient safety research by Annegret Hannawa, and others, has shown that ineffective communication can lead to patient harm. [29] [30] [31] Communication regarding patient safety can be classified into two categories: the prevention of adverse events and the response to adverse events. Effective communication can help in the ...
Variations in healthcare provider training & experience [45] [52] and failure to acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of medical errors also increase the risk. [53] [54] The so-called July effect occurs when new residents arrive at teaching hospitals, causing an increase in medication errors according to a study of data from 1979 to 2006.

For example, Wang et al. [16] that although the electronic nursing assessment form contained more documented assessment forms, which covered a wider range of ...
Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of highly efficient linear block codes made from many single parity check (SPC) codes. They can provide performance very close to the channel capacity (the theoretical maximum) using an iterated soft-decision decoding approach, at linear time complexity in terms of their block length.
