Hcs 350 – Personal and Professional Health Care CommunicationPersonal and Professional Health Care CommunicationHCS/350Personal and Professional Health Care CommunicationThe discussed material is designed to educate my direct co-workers in the endoscopy department. Health care communication will be defined. The importance and relevance of professional health care communication with other professionals, patients, and clients will be discussed. How the role of effective professional health care communication affects, health outcomes will be explained. The relationship of how some poor health outcomes can be attributed to a lack of effective communication will be reviewed. The theories and principles of therapeutic communication in the health care setting will be elucidated.
Definition of Health Care CommunicationCommunication involves a combination of verbal and nonverbal ways that are integrated for the sole purpose of sharing information (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). Verbal communication entails the use of words to communicate with others (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). Nonverbal communication provides cues about what is being communicated (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). Some nonverbal cues include silences, utilization of congruent nonverbal behaviors, body language, and touch (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). Health care communication is necessary to provide efficient, quality care for clients (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). Proper health care communication directly affects client outcomes such as the satisfaction of care, improved coping, treatment compliance, decreased levels of anxiety, and safety (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). This communication also has effects on the providers in areas such as; job satisfaction, and reduction of stress levels (Arnold & Boggs, 2011).
Relevancy of Professional Health Care Communication With OthersThe delivery of safe, high-quality health care is dependent upon inter-professional communication (Robinson, Gorman, Slimmer, & Yudkowsky, 2010). Such care depends greatly on the ability of health professionals to communicate effectively and efficiently with each other (Robinson, Gorman, Slimmer, & Yudkowsky, 2010). Professional health care communication with other providers, patients, and clients; promotes health, reduces risks, and facilitates a collaborative approach to providing quality care (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). Today, clients are taking an active role in self managing their conditions when it is possible (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). According to Arnold and Boggs (2011), this client-centered approach to health care is a combined effort involving the entire medical team. This type of approach requires effective communication among other health professionals, clients, and their families
The Benefits of Interprofessional Communication In my office, the most important health care communication and management program I run, is the Interagency Health Care Communication Program (Irvahn, Mertz, Everson, Buggs, & Brown, 2008). This program, based in Toronto, Canada, offers a flexible and collaborative approach to meeting the needs of patients and their communities so that providers are given flexibility to tailor health care to their specific needs and to their needs for the health of their patients and patients’ co-workers (Fletcher, 2009; Kugler, 2007). I have worked extensively with the medical community, including all the leading health care providers, to ensure that our organization is a quality health care, professional-oriented health care center that provides an enhanced value for our patients and their co-workers, and that they are treated at a fair and ethical level. One of the great strengths of this program is the focus on health, and the knowledge and skills for the care provider and co-workers at the center.
Relevance of Social Media to Patient Participation, Quality of Care (Kugler, 2007). This information is crucial to creating a better, more productive, more culturally diverse, and more productive health profession, in a safe and compassionate manner. Our goal is to improve quality of care in every area–from the mental health sector to medicine, including medical teaching, health promotion and care management (Lopez-Rangel, Gorman, & #038; Kugler, 2007). We believe that social media allows individuals within our community to communicate with others, to engage with their peers in their care, to learn and change by sharing their stories, and to share information about their personal health problems. It is important to support and encourage people outside of our community to share information about their health, but also to ensure they have access to the right care options and opportunities, which are not available to them through their media provider, patient care center, or health insurance company. A healthy, vibrant online community of social media professionals and patients should support and encourage the growth of our health care system in a well-informed, dynamic, and caring way.
A Case Analysis of the Medical Profession in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico Using the Web to Participate and Integrate Outcomes in Health Care Decision Making
The United States currently holds the World Health Organization’s “Meditation Health” or “Meditation Centers” status among countries to which they are accredited internationally. A Meditation Health Certificate (MHC) is a medical certificate issued by a medical professional. Most Meditation Centers are set up in underserved communities, such as the underserved communities of the U.S., where people generally do not receive the level of health care they need. Many Meditation Centers receive medical training in medical management, delivery, and care delivery. Many Meditation Centers focus on community care such as health-related programs, services, and medical management. The Medical Professionals for Behavioral Health and Society (MERHAS) provides professional training in health matters of social-communication and communication and a service-informed approach. MEDHAS is an integrated resource center for professionals, including medical professionals but especially those with disabilities. MEDHAS has the knowledge and experience to become an essential part of the health care system in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In 2011, we provided the first-ever health care certification to a member of our medical community in Mexico and was able to provide care as it was expected of us. In addition, our members have been trained to work in a manner that will enhance their patient care.
