Physician Effective Communication

Within a health care setting communication is a necessity. This communication not only includes the need for professional communication but also the way in which information is shared to the patient and to other healthcare workers. Another important aspect of health care worker such as a nurse is the effectiveness off a handover. Within the video, Effective Communication in nursing these three aspects of communication (Professional communication, provision of information and handover) were seen and will be analysed further, within this essay. These will be analysed through the three aspects, the care of the patient, the image of the individual nurse and the health outcomes of the patient. All of these three aspects of communication are vitally important to the overall patient needs.

HIPAA Act focuses on increased confidentiality and stronger security measures to protect health information (Hixson & Hunt-Unruh, n.d., para. 1). Any information posted to blogs, Facebook accounts, or communities online by health care organizations should be ready for the public to see. Also, there should be policies and guidelines related to online communications put in place before using these means of communication. The HIPAA Act also provides patients with increased access to their own medical records and also restricts and regulates who else can see them (Du Pré, 2005, p. 100).

Throughout the Resident Care Conference, our team demonstrated effective communication techniques such as simplicity, active listening and eye contact. First, Simplicity of words is using general words or choosing words to make it easier to understand (Kozier , et al, 2014 ) . For example, during the IPE event, instead of using medical words, health care professionals choose words that simple words like: difficulty in swallowing instead of using the word "dysphagia". Simplicity of words are making easier for the client to easily understand the information that the health care team is trying to explain. Second, active listening is paying attention to what is the client and/or family member is telling to the health care team regards to the client's health concern.

Communication is complex yet essential to our life and with the different beliefs, ethnicities, and attitudes communication can deteriorate. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the different interdisciplinary methods of patient-clinician communication. This topic is important to me because having the ability to be effective in my communication results in satisfaction, fulfillment, quality, safety, contentment, and peace. I hope to become successful in understand and to beunderstood in my communication. Nurses should want this education to prevent the negative effect that results from the inability to communicate effectively.

Communication plays a very crucial role in the overall development of important aspects of healthcare environment. The communication strategy that is adopted focuses on creating a significant environment where the quality of healthcare can be improved. Program planning processes within healthcare environment are crucial in the sense that there is need to ensure that they are developed focusing on key factors, which are upheld by a healthcare organization. The communication aspect of program planning needs to be effectively considered to ensure that there is a positive development of processes, which are considered (Coombs, 2014). Communication is the existing link between individuals within a given environment, and thus it is important to understand the program planning process incorporates some stakeholders in the healthcare industry where they can have a significant focus on the issues, which are being addressed. There are significant functions of communication in strategic program planning in a healthcare organization.

Working in healthcare most effective tool is communication. Discussing the outcomes of therapy a patients needs is vital for recovery. While in the hospital respiratory therapist communicate during report time to provided information that has transpired during the patients stay. The process of communication is a two-way street by processing clear and concise information along with understanding of the content (The Keys to Lean Communication - Improving the Process, n.d.). Lean communication provides information that eliminates any waste of time or information that is unnecessary and brings added value by improving contribution and enthusiasm in efforts to improve the department. The most effective tool in the hospital setting is communication,

The bottom line is communicating effectively and efficiently in health care impacts is an important but difficult and complex task. However, since every audience differs in goals, characteristics, and nature, that is what is most important is implementing effective communication. The nurse implement and include frequent two-way communication, repeated and on-going evaluation of how well the audience understands the messages, and consideration of how to improve the

Improving the quality of public healthcare by studying how physicians and patients communicate has become a more defined area of study over the past few decades. The purpose of this research is to further understand the communication dynamic between a physician and a patient during a standard face-to-face consultation. The broad themes that researchers have discovered in regard to physician-patient interaction are that physicians tend to overestimate their communication competence (Kripilani, 2013), patients feel uncertain or don’t fully disclose information (Sheer, 1995), empathy is a necessary, though lacking, element of proper healthcare (Rosen et al., 2016), and effective communication often decreases patient uncertainty

“Communication is a multidimensional and complex process in which, ideas, thoughts, values, knowledge or feelings are shared and interpreted” (Koutoukidis G, 2013). As a nurse, being able to communicate with our clients is imperative to their wellbeing and to the building of our therapeutic relationship. Effective communication is an essential part of nursing and doing it well can be an art, however it can be learned over time and usually gained from education and experience. Linguistically diverse and elderly patients in an acute setting need assistance in communicating and employing an interpreter to help is usually advantageous. Communication can be arduous and can have obstacles which we may encounter.

Effective communication amongst staff and patients is crucial to getting positive results. Issues between staff members are just as likely as issues with patients. Open communication will lead to greater result if approached with an open mind and understanding. As suggested, all healthcare professional and physician should be required to participate in culture and sensitivity courses to build awareness. Living in a highly diverse country requires all health professional to be educated in caring for patients from different

Communication plays a huge role in all healthcare settings and that is one of the legal tips mentioned in the article by Sally Austin (2008). We all understand that without communication, healthcare will be a disaster. If one professional does not relay a certain message or information to another healthcare professional, the information may be lost and will not be included in the patient’s care plan. Which in return can affect the patient in many ways if they are deteriorating quickly. Communication is key when it comes to providing safe care to our patients.

Communication is important component of nursing in ensuring the patient is kept safe. Communication among groups and specifically health care professional is important and sometimes key details are often left out during group meetings, which could affect the care of the patient in a life threating way. In the article I read called, Identifying Key Nursing and Team Behaviors to Achieve High Reliability, it talked about how during critical situations, leadership among team members often fail, leading to communication problems. In addition, it talked about how sometimes communication between families and health care professionals are sometimes done in the minimum, with key details being left out. I agree with the article and believe that working

In the past, there was a lack of communication between the patient and physician. The importance of the patient-physician communication was at a low due to a lack of patient-physician relationship. Now, there is a better understanding as to taking certain steps to patient-physician satisfaction. It is extremely important and effective to require communication between patient and the physician. The patient and physician need to develop a partnership. The patient needs to be fully educated about his or her condition and the different performances to address the problem. This process will give the patient an active role in the decision-making process. A patient must feel at all times that they are treated with respect. Learning

This report is about healthcare communication methods and the effect of HIPAA on the use of these methods. These two constructs are particularly discussed in the context of a situation when a local nursing home is to be purchased by national group and the work force in it will be affected by this administrative change. It is also expected that structural changes will take place and a new culture will be introduced. It is to be taken in special consideration that many patients who reside at nursing home will be displaced. Their shifting may occur as a big challenge as many of them have no acquaintances at that locality. The shift will cause change in their caretakers, care taking pattern and other healthcare practices as well.

The problem that will be addressed in this study is the disconnection between patients and their healthcare providers when they are seeking medical care. There seems to be a point within the interaction where communication is no longer effective between doctors and patients which then results in the patient’s mistrust. There is not enough evidence nor research to fully conclude why this may be occurring as past studies have not explored these topics. Questions like, “What did the patient or physician do during the interaction that made the communication ineffective?” need to be asked in order for care to be reflective and constantly improving. This concept needs to be approached from
