communication in heath care profession

January 14, 2020 6 Comments APA, Business and Management

First, lets start with a question based on your experiences, the icebreaker activity, and/or opinion:

1. When two people experience a breakdown in communication, whose responsibility is it to repair the communications? Consider this in our general everyday conversations and also from the context of interacting with a health provider (e.g. doctor, nurse, pharmacist, lab technician, or other allied health professional.)

Now applying what youve learned from the readings, lets go through the rest of the discussion together, one question at a time.

2. In looking at the Four Styles of Communication (Links to an external site.), does one communication style work better than others in the health care environment? Do people in certain styles have to work harder in communicating with coworkers, supervisors, and/or patients? How so?

3. These styles tend to work well in planned conversations or meetings, but in health settings, that is not always an option. How do we apply what we have learned about these styles in the quick interactions, such as a phone call, blood pressure check, pharmacy pick-up, flu shot, or even the more pressured situations like emergency room visits or first responder situations? How can we apply these in written communications?

4.Looking back at our conversation on communication styles so far this week, how might peoples communication styles and cultures intersect or complement one another? How might they diverge? Please provide examples.

Using a coin toss, you will determine the facial traits of a potential child.  The expression of your traits is driven by the combination of alleles that you inherited from your parents.  The inheritance of these alleles from your parents is random.  For example, your Mom’s sex chromosomes are XX. Your Dad’s are XY. Upon fertilization, Mom contributed one of these X chromosomes randomly (the only choice she had!)  Dad contributed either X or Y randomly.  If you are a female you inherited your Dads X chromosome.  If you are a male then you inherited your Dads Y chromosome.  Because parents only have two alleles to contribute and they will be sorted randomly, we can observe how alleles are passed on randomly (50/50 chance) and how the combination of alleles determines physical traits using a simple coin toss.
