Communication Challenges

   Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you   have selected.  
 

Option A: Compared to a non-healthcare organization, a manager must   have a special skill set for communicating with health professionals and non   professionals within a health care organization. What do you believe are   those particular skill sets? What are the ethical, financial, and legal   implications for communication within a health care organization? What are   the some of the primary barriers to communication between a manager and   his/her staff?
 

Option B: Case Study: Your Word Against His
 

  Review the details of the case “Your Word Against His” in your course text.   Describe in detail any options you could pursue to set the matter straight   for all parties who received the wrong information, while incurring the   minimum possible public disfavor by the vice president. In addition, describe   what you think went wrong this in case. Where was the communication   breakdown, and how could it have been avoided?
 

Guided Response for Option A and Option B: Review several of your   classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your   peers. Discuss the reasons why effective communication is so important in   organizations. What tools could managers use to foster better communication   in both cases?
