História: Projeto B2: mediar um desacordo

Nível: B2

An adverse-event disagreement

A multidisciplinary team disagreed about how to explain a medication event to a patient’s family. One group wanted a short update, while another wanted to include the full timeline and follow-up plan. The clinical lead agreed to mediate before the family meeting. Let’s focus on safety, dignity and a clear next step, she said.

Listening to both sides

What I hear the first group saying is that the family needs a simple explanation first. What I hear the second group saying is that the family also needs the timeline and follow-up plan. The team agreed that the patient’s safety and dignity should guide the conversation. That shared priority became the common ground for the mediation.

A trial agreement

If the team gave a clear summary first, the family could ask for more detail afterward. Could we use this communication plan for the meeting and review it after the follow-up? The team accepted the proposal because it protected transparency and kept the conversation manageable. The clinical lead recorded the agreement and the review date.

Clear next steps

Ana will call the family, and Bruno will confirm the monitoring plan by Friday. The ward pharmacist will review the medication record before the meeting. The disagreement did not disappear, but the team had a fair process for protecting the patient.
