Annegret Friederike Hannawa (born April 27, 1979 in Konstanz, Germany ) is a German communication scientist and founding director of the Center for the Advancement of Healthcare Quality and Safety (CAHQS) at the Università della Svizzera italiana in Lugano.[1]

Studies

Hannawa studied Interpersonal Communication at San Diego State University (California , USA), where she earned a master's degree in 2006.[2]

She then began her Ph.D. studies in Health Communication at Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, Arizona (USA). Her dissertation developed a communication science model of "Physician Mistake Disclosure."[3] In 2009, Hannawa received her doctorate from ASU.[4]

Academic career and work

Hannawa received her first academic appointment at Wake Forest University (WFU) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA, as tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies.[5] In 2011, she was appointed to a tenure-track professorship in health communication and research methodology at the Faculty of Communication, Università della Svizzera italiana (USI, Lugano, Switzerland), where she still works today.[6]

Hannawa conducted a grant-funded international congress entitled "Communicating Medical Error (COME)" in 2013.[7] The conference evolved into the nonprofit organization "ISCOME Global Center for the Advancement of Communication Science in Healthcare."[8] To date, Hannawa leads this research association as its founding president-elect.[9] Also in 2013, she received funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) to develop evidence-based communication guidelines for disclosing medical errors to patients.[10] In 2019, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health tasked her to analyze the pandemic communication surrounding Covid-19.[11][12]

In 2016, Hannawa founded an interdisciplinary Center for the Advancement of Healthcare Quality and Safety (CAHQS) at the Università della Svizzera italiana.[13] In the same year, she was elected as a scientific expert to the ELSI Advisory Board of the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN).[14] In addition, she received honorary titles as Associate Faculty at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (Baltimore, Maryland, USA)[15] and Cardiff University School of Medicine (Wales, United Kingdom).[6] In the same year, she was awarded the "Jozien Bensing Research Award".[16] In 2023, the government or the Swiss Canton of Uri recognized her with an appointment as Ambassador.[17]

Research

Hannawa's research focuses primarily on how "safe communication" can prevent harmful errors in everyday clinical practice and ensure high-quality healthcare, particularly in the digital age.[18] In her scientific research, she has evaluated over 1000 cases of harm in hospitals.[19][20] According to her statistics, 53 patients die every day in Germany as a result of treatment errors;[21] up to 80 percent of these cases can be traced back to unsafe communication.[22][23] From this evidence, Hannawa developed a science-based "SACCIA safe communication" model that conveys five competencies that can help people build resilience against communication failures.[24] Meanwhile, she has extended her safe communication research to other high-risk contexts, such as Covid-19,[25][26][27] airborne rescues[28][29] and climate change.[30]

Awards
