1 Research & Communication Tech in HealthCare & Science Health Care Research Paper: Draft Anahit Atoyan HLT 364 March 3, 2022 2 Research & Communication Tech In Healthcare & Science Describe The Health Care Administration Issue Or Barrier You Are Addressing Communication is the foundation of proper health care, meaning it is a component and a health determinant.

Healthcare provision is all about communication because communication is required in all aspects of patient care, namely during patient registration, counseling, consent, and examination from a broader perspective. Communication is a healthcare administration issue because there are patients from a minority culture or who are Limited English Proficient (LEP) (Vela et al., 2016). Despite the diversity in countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom, where the English language is common, healthcare systems have failed to provide sufficient healthcare services to patients from minority cultures and those who are Limited English proficient (LEP).

Thus, it is essential to note that communication is always a dialogue between patients and healthcare providers. Effective communication is not necessarily a language but an understanding between the providers and the patients. In this regard, communication gaps are often the root cause of insufficient patient care, leading to adverse health events. Discuss Resources Needed, Including Key Stakeholders And The Role They Play In Your Plan The resources needed in a plan involve human resources, capital resources, and technological resources. The mentioned resources are vital in enabling effective communication in healthcare from a broader perspective. For example, human resource involves workers or healthcare providers who are translators. In essence, providers who are well-conversant with translating multiple languages promote effective communication. The discussed resources above 3 often welcome stakeholders primarily when the issue at hand involves patient care. In this prospect, the key stakeholders regarding communication in healthcare entail patients healthcare providers such as nurses, staff, administrators, medical insurers, government stakeholders, and employers. Notably, patients are the essential stakeholders during planning, and they play an essential role in effective communication.

Thus, patients who speak limited English often have the most significant stake in the issue at hand. Patients who are from different cultures are also affected by communication problems. Medical workers or healthcare providers are also implicated during communication, leading to healthcare disparities (Vela et al., 2016). Some of the patients from different cultures or minorities who speak limited English include Latinos, Native Hawaiians, African Americans, American Indians, and Asians.

The groups mentioned above that are affected by the communication problem and happen to be stakeholders have been identified by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) as a population risk towards patient care. In essence, there is an uneven distribution of certain medical equipment or solutions to the stakeholders mentioned above. Besides, there is healthcare disparity towards the minority population, even in medical insurance coverage. Thus, it is the role of government stakeholders, healthcare providers, and medical insurers to emphasize effective communication during planning and limit healthcare disparities to the most affected stakeholders by the issue at hand. Identify The Characteristics Of An Effective Health Care Leader And The Role They Will Play In Your Plan The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is a healthcare leader organization that highlights the current trends of uneven burden that the minority often faces due 4 to ineffective communication. In this regard, the organization’s role, in this case, is to emphasize the subject of healthcare disparities caused by ineffective communication, focus on the minority groups affected, and enhance effective communication.

Therefore, the organization’s role named above will facilitate effective communication in healthcare to avoid instances of healthcare disparities that the minority or those who do not speak English often experience in health institutions. Identify Any External Or Internal Regulation That Must Be Considered To Ensure Compliance With Any Legislative, Institutional, Or Agency Policy Or Expectation. Federal Laws Medicaid and Medicare require health institutions or organizations that receive capital from the federal state as grants or reimbursements to offer interpreting services to hard of hearing (HOH) and LEP patients (Shaw, 2013). Health Care Research Presentation.

The federal policy above applies to Medicaid and Medicare centers where medical providers are also asked of the same services to HOH and LEP patients. Notably, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 under federal law requires that all healthcare providers comply with the Title IV of the Act. The Act categorically ensures that the federal law and its capital do not condone discrimination from providers based on a patient’s skin color, background, culture, race, or national origin (Paul-Emile, 2012). The Healthcare Gap Act (2003) also came into fruition to address the gap in healthcare by offering priorities to multiple populations and providing funds to the uninsured. Despite this Act being built on existing laws, the Act primarily combines the federal agencies’ resources. It promotes cultural competence training to help reduce aspect healthcare disparity caused by communication problems. Describe The Organizational And Strategical Development Structures/Processes That Address The Problem. 5 Notably, most organizations often try to address the issue of communication among the HOH population, LEP population, and the minority that ultimately lead to healthcare disparities in the contemporary world. Health Care Research Presentation.

The primary organizational development that healthcare organizations should adopt incorporates stressing the importance of interpreting healthcare services to every patient in every scenario. This organizational development method advocates for effective communication primarily by training healthcare providers to handle people who undergo communication barriers in a health institution (Diamond & Jacobs 2010). On the other hand, an organization can also facilitate a process whereby healthcare providers can balance subjective opinions based on generalization and objective facts regarding a patient, limiting healthcare disparities. Another organizational and strategical development that addresses the problem of communication entails coming up with technological structures that can help hard to hear (HOH) patients. In essence, a healthcare organization can adopt or purchase hearing aids. Hearing aids are small electronic devices that fit in a patient’s ear. The devices help in amplifying sounds hence enabling patients to communicate better. This strategy applies to HOH patients from a broader perspective. Also, some patients cannot hear completely (deaf). An organizational development process that will facilitate effective communication, in this case, involves employing healthcare providers who are also fluent and proficient in sign language (Genoff et al., 2016). It is essential to note that the description perfectly reflects organizational and strategical development structures or processes that address the problem at hand. Present Strategies For Communicating Your Proposed Plan 6 The strategies to communicate the proposed plan involve calling in all company meeting inclusive of stakeholders, creating a framework for members to align their work with the plan, reinforcing the strategic plan for future communication, and clarifying the plan o Health Care Research Presentation.

In all company meetings, calling entails communicating with all organization members regarding the plan and what is in store for healthcare providers and other stakeholders. Calling for a meeting can be through email, text, or phone while presenting the strategies of the proposed plan. Also, creating a framework for members to align their work with the proposed plan is a way of communicating the proposed plan because it involves keeping everyone’s work aligned in relation to the problem at hand. Reinforcing the strategic plan consists in telling and retelling the plan from a historical perspective to the present narrative of the problem. Besides, when communicating through this strategy, one can easily provide key potential growth and challenges (Ferenczy, n.d.). Clarifying the plan with visuals is also a strategy that makes the proposed plan simple but powerful hence making stakeholders understand one’s vision for the future. Use The Research Gathered In Your Literature Review To Provide Support For Your Paper Poor communication is a significant challenge in coordination and operations in all organizations, and healthcare organizations are not an exception in this context. Research shows that poor communication leads to healthcare costs and poor outcomes hence the plan to counter the problem at hand. It is evident that healthcare administrations depend on communication, and different communication challenges always facilitate healthcare service delivery. According to Tiwary et al. (2019), the cost of patient care due to poor communication always emanates from poorly communicated drug therapy and poorly communicated treatment plan. Health Care Research Presentation.

 The elaboration 7 above supports the proposed effective communication plan to LEP patients, HOH patients, and the minority in society. Also, research on communication gaps in health institutions will improve communication among stakeholders while reducing coordination costs in healthcare administration. 8 References Diamond, L.
