  • Health Care Communication Strategies – Communication and Crisis

    $12.50

    Communication and Crisis (Health Care Communication Strategies)

    In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor malfunctioned, releasing radiation into the environment. There were no immediate deaths or injuries resulting from the incident; however, the accident drew much media attention and created concerns in the local area and beyond. The major forms of communication used to report these events were the three major television networks and local radio stations.

    In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area and immersed a significant part of the city in water. Local citizens and their families were affected. In contrast to the Three Mile Island incident, newer communication technologies, such as the Internet, were used to disseminate information.

    Today, you are the director of a regional Emergency Management Office. You begin receiving official reports that the public water supplies of several towns in the area have become contaminated with a life-threatening biological agent. Contingency plans must be addressed within the organization and with the public without creating a panic.

    Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper on essential communication in a community crisis situation described in the scenario.

    Include the following in your paper.

    • The individuals or groups that will be communicating inside and outside the organization during this crisis situation
    • Potential advantages and challenges associated with communicating within the organization and with the public and private sectors during this crisis situation
    • Differences in communication processes used in crisis situations, including what you learned from the situations in the scenario and how you might incorporate that knowledge to improve health care communication strategies
    • Appropriate technology, such as social media, affecting communication during the crisis situation and how these technologies may be used to enhance communication
    • How technology might be used differently now than it was during the crisis situations described in the scenario
    • Media opportunities during this management crisis

    Cite a minimum of three sources, one from the University Library and another from the course textbooks or Electronic Reserve Readings, to support your position.
    Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

    A.    Describe the characteristics of the selected vulnerable
    B.    Describe risk indicators/relative risk factors for this population (utilize vulnerable population theory to assess the population and identify risk)

    D.    Analyze current policies and programs/services that address health problems of the population
    E.    Describe the quality of their access to health care
    F.    Discuss policies and programs that are still needed to improve the quality of their care

  • The Angry Patient

    $10.00

    An agitated patient wants to speak to someone important…That would be you!!  Your staff has no idea what has the patient all riled up, but you agree to discuss the matter in a more private and controlled setting.  You take them to your office.  Early in your discussion, it is clear that this patient is a “drug seeker”.  As you attempt to manage the situation, the patient pulls a knife out of their back pack and tells you that they are not leaving (and neither are you) until they get what they came for.

    What safeguards should we put into place for situations like this?
    Consider patient flow issues
    Consider furniture placement
    consider your office setup
    What training should we consider based on this experience?
    Are their facility modifications that should be made?
    Consider the facility size
    consider the costs involved
    Please provide a 2 page Microsoft Word document to me addressing this issue to include the items I have provided for discussion.
