Cultural Barriers to Communication
Communication is essential whether at home or in the work environment. Managers and team members are challenged in the healthcare field as effective communication is essential to transfer information, develop common understanding and enhance knowledge. Mastering communication skills reduces errors related to consumers and handling of patients and increases effective interaction with patients, consumers, peers, colleagues and other departments.
Let’s read the following scenario.
A healthcare manager sent an e-mail stating the unit would begin to incorporate a new patient safety program, where patients who are at risk will need to wear yellow socks. This identifies a protocol, which includes keeping the bed rails up and requires thirty-minute rounding to make certain that the patients are not getting out of bed without assistance. A registered nurse (RN), recently employed from China, has a language barrier, even though she has passed her state boards. She is not familiar with e-mail as a communication method in her past work environment in China.
The RN from China, Meelynn, does not read the e-mail directive and her patient is not given the proper protocol procedures. The patient falls from the bed and now has been transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). The manager is now meeting with her to understand how this occurred and to educate Meelynn about effective communication methods used in the organization. You heard Meelynn say to other workers, “I don’t think this is my fault. We get ten e-mails each day, text messages from management, and we are expected to read all of it and care for patients. I don’t have time to read all the messages the manager sends to me. Some of the messages I don’t even understand what she means and I cannot go and take time to find her.”
On the basis of above scenario and your knowledge on communication, answer the following questions:
What plan do you suggest for handling communication problems involved in the given scenario? Why?
Poor communication is the root cause of many errors and adverse events. Do you agree with this statement? Explain why?
What are the two major problems associated with written communication and two with verbal communication in an organization?
What actions can individuals take to ensure their communication is effectively received? Why is this important?
What factors can affect someone’s ability to receive communication?
What values are encouraged when one complies with effective communication methods?
What are the benefits of having a culturally diverse team?
What is the organization’s significance and responsibility to train all staff members to comply with regulations and requirements?

Retirement
Retirement in the Unites States today forms a normal part of the life cycle. Most people will spend some time in retirement. Atchley and Barusch (2003) describe retirement as a series of stages. This five-stage model takes a life-course perspective on retirement. It shows the interplay between a person’s past, his or her current life, and external events.
The population of older adults in the United States has grown more than ten times in size from 1900 to 2003, from 3.1 million to 36 million people. Projections show that this population will more than double from the year 2000 to 2050, increasing from 35 million to 86.7 million (Novak, 2009).
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on retirement specifically in the context of United States. Based on your research and understanding, respond to the following:
Explain the five stages of retirement. Which stage do you think is most important? Why?
Describe the factors that a person has to consider when contemplating retirement.
Describe different factors that can have an impact on retirement.

Organizational Chart Assessment
Think about a particular healthcare organization. How would you depict the reporting structure in this organization? What is the flow of communication and decision making between various people? Does the image in your mind match with one (or more) of the organizational structures discussed in this week’s Learning Resources? Why or why not? For anyone working in a health care setting, looking at the organizational chart can provide useful information about the context that affects daily practice as well as the achievement of longer term goals. For managers, understanding the structure and dynamics portrayed in such a chart—as well as those that may be missing—is especially important. For this Discussion, you analyze an organizational chart from the point of view of nursing management.
To prepare: •Obtain a copy of an organizational chart which does not have a shared governance model. •Obtain a copy of an organizational chart from a magnet hospital. You can find a list of current magnet-recognized hospitals at http://www.nursecredentialing.org/Magnet/FindaMagnetFacility •Examine both organizational charts through the lens of management (i.e., think about the responsibilities and concerns that you, as a manager, may have). •Review Marquis and Huston (2015) page 279, Display 12.5 The 14 Forces of Magnetism for Magnet Hospital Status and Learning Exercise 12.4 •Think about how the organizational charts align? •Think about how communication actually occurs at your organization.
Post and Compare and contrast the organizational chart you identified to the shared governance model on Marquis and Huston (2015, p. 277). Consider major components of organizational structure and communication such as centrality and decentralization. Describe at least five of the “forces of magnetism” and compare how the magnet and non-magnet organizations meet them or need improvement in these areas (Marquis & Huston, 2015, p. 279, Display 12.5).
