The Importance Of C-Section

1. The organizational behavior problems in this case are lack of leadership, lack of good communication and lack of resources. The hospital has poor leadership. The leaders have not put in place certain safe guards to deliver quality health care to their patients. First, patients are admitted on the spot without the consideration of other health care options. This also poses another issue of patient autonomy. Patients have the right to choose treatment options. Secondly, leadership has not ensured resources such as bilingual staff or other language interpreting services are in place for non-English speaking patients. This creates a communication barrier, which the hospital runs the risk of patients not fully understand information relayed to them. As a result, patients cannot make informed decisions. Understanding a consent form should not be the only documentation required to perform a medical procedure. The hospital leaders should use other forms such as published brochures to explain diagnosis, procedures, and patient rights and patient advocates before having patient sign consent forms.

In 2004 my grandmother and I moved from Haiti to United States without a speck of English in our language. After few years living in the states, my grandma started to get ill and she had to seek monthly medical assistance. At the time, my mother was working multiple jobs and I was a full time undergrad student that lived on college campus. Our busy schedule posed a challenge for us to bring grandma to her medical appointments. Most times it was hard for us to find someone to go with her and assist her with language translation. When it was time for her to go by herself, the health providers would have trouble finding a professional translator on the spot to assist my grandma. This became a repetitive problem and my grandma’s case was not getting any better. If she had the ability to communicate with her provider using her own language, she would have been able to be more expressive about her symptoms and the doctors would have assisted her to her needs. Just like my grandma, many people that speaks little to no English, are having trouble interpreting their medical diagnosis and communicating with their healthcare providers.

Therefore, we also need to take into consideration how much that mother knows about the laws of this country.

Unfortunately, the world we live is a far cry from perfect. We have all types of barriers and roadblocks that we must face and attempt to overcome on a daily basis. When dealing with healthcare, these barriers and roadblocks can be much scarier – and in some cases even deadly.

Effective communication with patients is critical to the safety and quality care. From the last two decades ,number of researches has been conducted on the impact of language barrier on health and healthcare.

This situation was not an emergency that required immediate need of a translator, thus an appropriate interpreter would have been the best approach.
