Effective communication training to support person- and whānau-centred care: what is needed and why isn’t it happening?
Traditional workplace education models are insufficient to meet the growing need for effective PWCC, including culturally safe communication in healthcare. An AI-enabled, feedback-driven tool may present a viable complementary solution to current offerings, provided it is co-designed with consumers and clinicians, is culturally grounded and is integrated into existing systems. Further investigation into the development and validation of a tool is warranted.
