Dena Gray: Assertive Communication In The Classroom

Communicate is essential in health and social care settings because without a good communication to patients, families, colleagues and management is very difficult to deliver good service of care.

Communication is usually taken for granted in our every day to day living as we use it without thought. Good communication skills are needed in the workplace and especially with nursing staff to and from patients when giving first hand care. Good or bad communication can make there experience within the health care setting a positive or negative one and can leave a lasting impression. A good health care provider can use there communication skills to put a patient at ease with a few comforting words or gestures, a lack of positive communication in the health care setting could leave the patient feeling neglected, ignored and not valued as a patient.

Effective communication in the work place is essential to make sure that information is passed on, to make sure that the client’s needs and problems can be assessed properly, if there are any changes that effect the care then it needs to be passed on to the team at work, to build good relationships with your team members and clients.

Finally, the model suggests that if satisfactory resolution is not attained, move the problem up to the next level of authority (Abudato, 2004). Organizational structure often dictates the way communications occur and it is important to remember that no matter the situation, mutual respect must be maintained. Effective communication among all team members is an important aspect of delivering appropriate patient care and advocating for the patient, and is an area where things can often go wrong.

Effective communication is one of the utmost characteristics of a high-quality health care model that responds to the existing needs of the general population. However, communication may sometimes be taken for granted and therefore fail to relay important information between health care providers within the interprofessional team. In today’s health care setting, communication is particularly challenging due to the limited time constrain in the workplace. In spite of the utilization of existing charts and documentation, errors are made. In this paper, a real life clinical scenario is discussed which involved a breakdown of

On many occasions, I have seen situations in which effective communication involving the professional healthcare team played a vital role in the positive outcome of patient care. On the other hand, there have been miscommunication between the healthcare team resulting in situations that could have been tragic to the patient.

In this scenario the nurse is and can be faced with having to communicate with any given person on staff to ensure appropriate quality care. Being part of the interdisciplinary healthcare team and learning how to communicate effectively within this team and encourage others to do the same is one of the many vital responsibilities that a nurse must be able to handle well.

I believe that communication is the main reason problems occur in health care. It is crucial that the health care team works together as a team and communicates any issues or concerns throughout the process of patient care. No matter how many processes are put into place or how many checklists are followed, mistakes are going to be made unless proper communication occurs. Unfortunately, these mistakes are usually at the cost of safe patient care. According to Edwards (2008), “every

Communication is the most important aspect in any kind of health care setting as it is through this that you meet the patients’ needs and wants. Without efficient communication, errors can be made, people within you care become neglected and as a result complaints are filed, patients do not feel looked after and therefore the care system is portrayed in a negative light. An example of where this happened was in Mid Staffordshire, even though this report was very concerning, it has changed the health care standards for the better. Francis (2010)

Good Afternoon team players! After coming from a seminar for the health care industry, it is intriguing that the team as a whole must come together and have communication. The important thing is communication; this will help each and every person to communicate more successfully. Every person works in the same workplace and must have an understanding amongst one another as a team. However, having communication each person must have define, organization, and implement. Nevertheless, when going to the conference, it is known that a person should not just focus on working in the healthcare environment, but instead, he or she as individuals should concentrate on the patients. The conference taught not just numerous but others how active listening

Communication plays a vital role in the healthcare setting, as the relationship with the healthcare professional sets the tone of the care experience and has a powerful impact on patient satisfaction. It is “the shared process in which messages are sent and received between two or more people which are made up of a sender, receiver, and message in a particular context” (cite, date). This essay highlights the importance of, and some common barriers to, effective communication in the healthcare setting. It involves many interpersonal skills such as effective observation, questioning and listening, giving feedback, recognizing and removing barriers.

I enjoyed reading your post. As classmates, it is interesting to read about the level of awareness this course has provided, what we have learned and how will we apply it to our lives, moving forward. I think it is great that you have recognized the areas you wanted to improve and you are working towards incorporating those elements in future classes and at work. I have learned several, important interpersonal communication skills in this class but self disclosure, is the most important communication skill I have learned because it will help me build on my professional and personal relationships. Self disclosure means making self known to others, letting others know what you think, feel and want. It is revealing personal information to another that results in an enhanced and trusting personal or business relationship. (DeJanasz, S., Dowd, K., & Schneider, B. 2015 p. 30). For the most part, I believe, I am a good

Effective communication is a conversation where everyone involved in the conversation understands and doesn’t get confused by each overs meaning. An effective conversation can also mean all information has been transferred by voice to another person successfully. Effective communication in health and social care is crucial, this is because it allows health care workers to perform their job role effectively in the workplace as users of the service and people who work for the service (police, paramedics, care workers, doctors and nurses) all come from different backgrounds and cultures. Clear communication is very important between colleagues, it’s important for all colleagues to have a clear understanding of each over this is to ensure that

Communication is the leading factor in heath care errors (book). (Treas & Wilkinson Book p463) defines communication as “a dynamic, reciprocal process of sending and receiving messages. The messages may be verbal, non-verbal,
