The lack of effective communication and shared decision-making between key health actors in Liberia's fragile healthcare system has prompted this interpretive qualitative phenomenological study. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the communication between healthcare and non-healthcare providers to include: an exploration of their strategies to improve healthcare delivery, the conditions under which they provided health care services despite belonging to different types of institutions, and the communication mechanisms they used to meet the needs of Liberia's fragile healthcare system. This study used a semi-structured qualitative interview for data collection to address the research questions. The data were collected using a sample consisting of managers, purposefully selected from leading healthcare and non-healthcare organizations located in Monrovia, Liberia. Ten managers were selected from the following healthcare organizations: John F. Kennedy Medical Center, Eternal Love Winning Africa Hospital, Redemption Hospital, St. Joseph's Catholic Hospital, Cooper Adventist Hospital, Wein Town Community Clinic, E. S. Grant Mental Health Hospital, A. M. E. University Clinic, Hope For Women International Health Center, and James N. Davis, Jr. Memorial Hospital. Ten managers also were selected from the following non-healthcare organizations: Government of Liberia--Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, United Nations Development Program, United States Agency for International Development, World Bank, United Nations High Commission For Refugees, Catholic Relief Agency, Clinton Health Access Initiatives, National Social Security and Welfare Corporation, Ministry of Agriculture, and the United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS. Each manager was informed regarding the nature and purpose of the study; had the choice freely to participate without coercion; and was selected based on his or her executive experience and competency, including supervision, strategic policy development and implementation, and program planning and administration skills. Participating organizations were asked to write a letter of endorsement to their selected managers requesting them to participate in the study. By establishing effective communication links between healthcare and non-healthcare organizations, strategies may be developed, and recommendations will be offered to strengthen Liberia's fragile healthcare system, with emphasis placed on making shared decisions that consider the social determinants of health.
