Communication affects the wellbeing of the patient. Many studies reported ill-health from inadequate communication. For a good and successful patient-doctor relationship we need effective communication skills.
Communication is essential in healthcare settings. Effective communication requires properly transferring information from the sender to the receiver. Barriers to communication in healthcare include language barriers, distractions, varying communication styles, and shift changes. Lack of communication can cause medical errors and adverse patient outcomes. Standardized communication tools like SBAR, call-outs, check-backs, and handoffs can improve information exchange between healthcare team members. These tools provide structured frameworks for communicating critical patient information, especially during care transitions.
Effective communication in patient safety and healthcareTaher Kagalwala
This document discusses strategies for effective communication in healthcare settings. It identifies challenges to communication such as cognitive load, competence, conflict between parties, and organizational pressures. It promotes assertive communication and provides tools for structured communication. The SBARQ technique outlines communicating situation, background, assessment, recommendation and asking questions. The CUS method serves as a signal phrase when a provider is concerned, uncomfortable or feels a situation is unsafe. The two-challenge rule advises communicating up the chain of command if concerns are not addressed after two assertive attempts. Effective communication is key to preventing medical errors and improving patient safety and outcomes.
Electronic medical records (EMR) are digital versions of paper medical records that contain a patient's health information and can be accessed by healthcare professionals from any location. EMRs allow for searchable patient data, documentation of key information, and communication between providers to improve quality of care. While EMRs provide benefits like increased accessibility, flexibility, and time management, they also face challenges including potential privacy violations, difficulties with documentation systems and technology, and inadequate staff training. Overall, EMRs are an important tool for the future of healthcare by enabling electronic charting, documentation, and improving quality, orders, and patient safety.
The document discusses an electronic health record (EHR) system that aims to provide a comprehensive lifetime medical record for patients. It describes the key components of an EHR including demographics, medical history, examinations, investigations, diagnoses, treatments, and the ability to view trends over time. The EHR aims to store data in a structured way for analysis while maintaining usability.
Doctor-patient communication has evolved from a paternalistic model to one emphasizing mutual participation. Effective communication is important for accurate diagnosis, treatment adherence and patient satisfaction. It requires listening skills, managing expectations, and tailoring information to individual patients. While doctors value diagnostic skills most, patients prioritize listening. Shared decision-making is preferred but preferences vary between patients. Qualitative research is needed to fully understand patient satisfaction.
This document discusses effective communication in healthcare. It identifies three components of communication: the sender, receiver, and message. In a doctor-patient interaction, the doctor is both the sender and receiver of information, so ensuring a shared understanding is important. Some keys to effective communication include: establishing rapport, active listening, body language, empathy, avoiding medical jargon, and addressing questions. Proper communication is also important for patient safety, such as during handovers which can utilize the ISBAR method. Special situations like breaking bad news require protocols to ensure compassionate and clear information sharing. Barriers to communication like language differences and disabilities also must be addressed.

The document summarizes the doctor-patient relationship. It discusses Parsons' model of the sick and doctor roles, types of relationships like paternalistic and consumerist, influences on the relationship like time pressures and patient characteristics, models of treatment decision making like shared decision making, improving communication skills, and how the relationship has changed from past to present with more emphasis on patient autonomy and mutuality now. The optimal relationship is one of mutual participation and shared decision making.

Week 8 Initial Discussion Post
Planning for Data Collection
Evidence-based practice is a theory that consists of using research to guide decision making in clinical and nursing settings. For research to be reliable and have validity a significant amount of data collection must first be collected. Whether a research project is using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods design, it is essential to determine what types of information is needed. Due to the emphasis on patient satisfaction in the healthcare world at this time, it is crucial to evaluate how that care is being delivered (Krietz, Winters & Pedowitz, 2016). In this post, I will discuss using a survey method to obtain information representative of the population within a clinic setting.
In the example, I am a nurse working in a local primary care facility which sees thousands of patients annually. To make better clinical decisions regarding patient care and satisfaction, five questions have been created to elicit feedback. The questions are as follows:
1. Did you feel the wait time to be seen in the office was appropriate?
2. During your visit, did you feel the nurses and staff listened to your concerns and treated you with courtesy and respect?
3. Did the provider spend enough time listening, discussing care, and answering your questions?
4. Based on your experience today, would you recommend our clinic to someone you know?
5. In your opinion, what could our clinic have done better?
To obtain structured data that is self-reported and applicable to the clinic’s objectives, it is vital to determine which instrument would work best for the clientele. Self-report methods can extract information from patients that might otherwise be difficult to get (Polit & Beck, 2017). Allowing the freedom to report their experiences and feelings increases confidence in the clinic’s desire to meet their needs. If researchers know what data they want to obtain, a structured approach with some open-ended and closed questions can garner the information needed to make significant changes (Polit & Beck, 2017). Using a mixture of questions is an attempt to include all patients.
For this scenario, the questionnaire is a sampling of both types of questions and is the most popular method (Keough & Tanabe, 2011). The study will be given to individuals 18 and over. The questionnaire and a pen will be given to the patient by the nurse prior at the start of their appointment with the physician. An explanation of the questionnaire will be provided with instructions to return their questionnaire to the drop-box on the countertop in the room after their exam. The goal for participation is 500 patient responses over six months. Responses will be collected and responses logged into the computer on Fridays by the nurse manager. After the six months, results will be calculated, and staff will be informed of the result.
This journal club presentation summarizes a research article that assessed fear of COVID-19 among the Indian population using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. The study used a cross-sectional online survey distributed via social media to 1499 respondents. It found that over half of the population reported low fear, while females, married individuals, those with lower education, and healthcare workers had significantly higher odds of high fear. The discussion noted that females and healthcare workers may be more prone to fear due to stress and their close contact with COVID-19 patients. The conclusion recommended further nationwide studies to evaluate fear and develop tailored intervention strategies.

Public Health professionals communicate with a variety of audiences in their daily work. While reasonably well-accepted that special consideration be given to low-literate health care consumers in clinical settings, less emphasis has been given to applying health literacy in diverse sectors of public health. Poor health literacy is not limited to those with language or reading skill barriers - only 12% of Americans understand the health information they receive.
As public health professionals we have a responsibility to understand the health literacy barriers. This presentation will provide tips and resources where public health professionals can make a difference in increasing the success of their communication efforts.
While one flu season can pass mildly and with minimal activity, another may hit the country early and hard. CDC health communicators work with subject matter experts and stakeholders to develop messages for a variety of audiences, employing different types of media for effective reach. Due to unforeseen variables, the 2012-2013 flu season posed specific challenges. This presentation will highlight some of those challenges, showcase strategies and messaging used, and preview what’s to come for the 2013-2014 season.
This webinar was the second session in the CALPACT sponsored Health Communication Matters series, which will help participants in all walks of public health to apply health literacy principles to their everyday communications.

Mission and vision
My population is the children in the neighborhood who are below 13 years. This target population will be targeted with a campaign aimed at addressing the oral health needs to ensure they are leading healthy lifestyles. This project is critical and requires careful planning since it is dealing with the lives of children. The following mission and vision will guide the project
Mission
This project mission will be to sensitize, inform, and equip the children and their families on the best oral health hygiene measures as a measure of leading healthy dental lifestyles employing a multi-stakeholder cooperation.
A mission describes the reason for existence, as well as identifies the ways that will be used to achieve the desired outcomes. The mission of the project, therefore, informs the stakeholders of what the project exists for as well as serves to identify who the stakeholders are (Baroto, Arvand, & Ahmad, 2014). The above mission Cleary states the reasons behind the existence of the project is to inform and equip the community the local community, especially the children with techniques and methods that will be important in curbing poor oral hygiene as well as ensure that these methods become an integral part of their lives.
Vision
To have a community that will be able to sustain good oral hygeince where dental and mouth health problems will be extinct.
The vision, which is always the futuristic view of the desirable outcomes, it meant to offer a sense of direction for the project (Abraham & Spath, 2014). This project aims at eradicating the oral health issues caused by poor oral health conditions. It is expected that the outcomes of the sensitization program will instill good oral hygiene practices in the daily lives of the children.

This document summarizes a virtual community meeting to support the health and wellbeing of NHS people during the Covid-19 response. The meeting will include introductions from participants, an update on the national support offer, a discussion on supporting leaders, a presentation on compassion from Professor Michael West, and a conversation on experiences supporting staff wellbeing. Participants will also have the opportunity to complete a survey on their experiences for a chance to win a coaching session. The aim of the weekly sessions is to offer support, share wellbeing activities, and connect people supporting NHS staff health and wellbeing.
The document discusses a longitudinal study conducted by the Harris Center for Education and Advocacy in Eating Disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital. The study has followed 246 women with anorexia and bulimia nervosa since 1987 to understand what happens to patients over time. With recent funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, the researchers will conduct follow-up interviews with study participants approximately 25 years later to understand factors related to recovery and how the women are doing currently. One study participant shared how participating in the research helped her recognize the importance of self-care. The researchers express appreciation to the study participants for generating high-quality research that expands knowledge of eating disorders and improves treatment.

This SlideShare presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the Declaration of Helsinki, a foundational document outlining ethical guidelines for conducting medical research involving human subjects.
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Cecil Helman is a medical anthropologist. His ‘folk model’ uniquely looks at the consultation from the patient’s perspective. Even if they are not explicitly posed, a number of questions will be in the patient’s mind:
[Animation]
[1] What has happened? What has gone wrong? What is the diagnosis?
[2] Why has it happened? What is the cause? What is to blame?
[3] Why me? Is it due to something I’ve done, or not done?
[4] Why now? Is it something to do with my age, or what I’ve been doing recently?
[5] What would happen if nothing were done? What is the prognosis? Is it serious?
[6] What should be done about it? Do I need treatment? What are the options?
The wise doctor will empathise with them, and will want to address them at some point. Failure to do so may leave the patient feeling unsatisfied or may jeopardise compliance with a management plan.
