How to deal with communication challenges we might face when encountering a subject. In the past year we have had specific training in how to communicate with a deaf subject, a Spanish-speaking subject, and a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In one practical scenario we were put to the test and our commander arranged for us to find a deaf child in distress at the end of our mock search. It was a great learning experience! In thinking about communication with patients and families and in preparing your team or organization for such encounters, what do you currently do to prepare for these types of communication challenges? It’s ok to share stories of your experience but I’d like you to focus on viewing this from an executive perspective. What can you do to best prepare your teams for these types of encounters?

Discussion Question:
Consider a situation in which communication occurred with a nonnursing professional or patient’s family. What barriers or challenges were apparent? What strategies were used or could be used to overcome the barriers or challenges?
Communicating Effectively
Communication seems like such an overused word, and its continued emphasis and importance in healthcare means that nurses and leaders, as well as others in the healthcare environment, continue to miss the level of effectiveness needed to meet patient and organizational goals. Leaders must reflect on their communication patterns by reviewing interactions and determining what they could have done to improve their effectiveness. Communicating effectively is an art beyond general verbalization between people and should be a top priority for nurses and leaders.
Research with nurse and physician groups has determined there are several significant components that must be apparent for communication to be effective (Robinson, Gorman, Slimmer, & Yudkowsky, 2010). First, there needs to be a clear and concise message.
