Unit 4222-201 Introduction to communication in health, social care or children's and young people's settings Outcome 1 1.1 People need to communicate for different reasons. This is essential within a healthcare setting, however professionals must be able to recognise that is can be difficult. We communicate information in many different ways, this is frequently done through speaking, however non verbal communication can also play a significant role in how we communicate with our patients. As a professional we need to communicate well with patients, their families, carers and share knowledge and information with our own colleagues and professionals. Patients must be able to communicate their fears and feelings in any environment especially in a hospital setting, where they can feel exceptionally vulnerable and exposed.
Patton-Fuller Community Hospital Networking Project The Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has been serving its local community since 1975. The staff is committed to provide healthcare services designed to meet the needs at every stage of their patient’s life. The hospital has a pledge of having the best patient with the most pleasant experience as possible. To accomplish this, the hospital must first look at all aspects of healthcare which includes assessing and improving the IT infrastructure. Information technology systems and networks have become the backbone in practically every organization.
With the Government Agencies it gives basic information on the healthcare effect and cost, to help individuals make more educated choices and improve the quality of healthcare services. Next, Commercial Agencies gave information on clarifications for physicians, on improving the fundamental of healthcare and assisting physicians to provide better care to their patience. Finally, Healthcare Associations and Foundations was the last resource that came to my mind. It gave information on how to help healthcare with strategists and retailers with ways to be successful in everyday life. In conclusion, coming to the healthcare field is far more than just a job, it’s a continuous embark of heroism for me.
Human Resource Project Rasmussen College Author Note Part 1 The job I would like to find most after the completion of my degree is an executive level Healthcare Quality Management position for a large healthcare network. This is a dream job of sorts for me in that I would be able to directly or indirectly effect peoples’ lives and assist in them potentially becoming a healthier, well rounded person. In this position I would lead projects in hospitals and clinics that would focus on patient care with an emphasis on educating the patient and treating the person as a whole organism not individual pieces based on system function, i.e. Mental health, Cardiovascular health etc. In my experience in the medical field Healthcare Practitioners

Doctors – If we take a client to the doctors it is essential that we are able to inform the doctor of any relevant information required otherwise this may result in a misdiagnosis. Some clients are unable to communicate very well so we must first understand their problem so that we can convey this on their behalf. 1.2 Explain how communication affects all relationships in an adult social care setting. Communication can lead to good or poor service within a care setting. Good communication with clients encourages participation in activities therefore promoting equality within the care setting.
Communication is important... communication may involve interpreters and translators. Using a trained interpreter, and not a family member, is recommended. When family members are upset it is difficult to absorb information. Listening is also a communication tool. To provide competent health care means to truly listen to the patient and the family to learn about the patient's beliefs of health and illness.
Selena Treviño CRSS—4th Mrs. Kissire November 14, 2013 Pathways to Becoming a Physician Assistant or a Nurse Practitioner I am very interested in becoming either a physician assistant or a nurse practitioner. I am interested in these careers because I love helping others and doing anything in my power to make others feel better. I enjoy working with others and helping others daily. A physician assistant and a nurse practitioner are common but differ in their unique ways and require two different paths to complete. A Physician Assistant (PA) is a skilled healthcare provider who is academically and clinically prepared to practice medical skill sunder the supervision of a licensed physician.
This is not true. Some things to consider are the many different cultures we deal with on a daily basis. It is hard to effectively communicate with patients of different cultures. As healthcare professionals we are taught to respect our patient’s cultures and deliver competent treatment as well. As nurses we have to remember that the words we use can mean something different to patients with different cultures ("Cultural barriers to effective communication", 2010).
It would be difficult for our staff to overrule the 'considerations' of the medical practitioner. In general our support staff are aware and recognise discrimination outside of our units. We have staff processes for many service users to reduce the impact on them and any further distress it may cause and we seek the opportunity to be able to explain and educate to minimise discrimination. 3 One of the main areas where we see discrimination is when we accompany service users to appointments. Typical appointments would be GP, Dentist, other medical specialists and Benefit agencies.
