interactive decision making—has the potential to provide models of the

factors that promote quality of care.it is a deliberation of two or more health care
professionals about diagnosis or treatment in a particular case. Communication
breakdowns are common sources of medical errors. 70% of medical errors have
been attributed to failures in effective communication. Communication happens in
