The communication plays a major role in the way in sharing information. The way we
communicate, we reflect the personality we own. The communication helps us to connect
with people we interact or meet in our daily lives (Thompson,2011). The communication
helps us in transferring ideas and information could help us binding connection with the
people. Without communication,the health care organisation might incur huge losses since
there will be lack of unity among the organisation.The health care need to have an effective
communicationto maintain the good health of people. Thenon- verbal communication
instruction are needed to be followed very carefully to avoid any error, any carelessness can
cause complication in the patient’shealth. The health care organisation should have the proper
update of all the medical history of the patientsand follow the requirement of diet and
medication with respect to revised medication. There might be chances that there are barriers
faced in the effective communication which can lead to high repercussions. The
communication barrier created hazardous repercussions in the hospital.
The hospital has more than hundred patients treated on the daily basis. The hospital
has more than 50 wards that treat these patients on a daily basis. The incident took place in
the stroke ward, where the ward patient has a routine diet that was provided by the hospital.
The dietitian staff instructed the patient diet verbally directed the heath care team with

documenting in the patients record . Unfortunately, wrong diet has been served accidently
which caused choking which resulted in the death of patient. Lack of proper management
structure and poor documentation on patients care plan caused major consequences. This
might me unintentional but it has led the whole organization in shock. The visitors and
patients where hesitant to trust the employees with their health. The unintentional mistake of
serving a wrong diet has defamed the name of the organization among people.
I deeply felt very sad and sorry for the loss. I just reported the incident to the supervisors of
the organization this not only affected the employee but also was a great shock to patient’s
family and friends. The hospital was falling apart because of the incident. The employees
tried to justify their side for the incident and the case was being investigated, the report
showed that the caretaker unintentionally gave the wrong diet to the patient since there was
no documentation record to refer .Being a health care professional, I have taken few steps and
implemented them in the hospital.
In order to gain the faith of patients again with the hospital, we tried to be more
interactive and attentive regarding the medical history of each patient. The cloud storage
might help in creating space for extra data so that referring to the medical history be easier.
The translator and interpreters need to be available all the time for the patients. The good
communication can also be implied regarding children who need help in the organization.
There was a proper management because of the documentation records, there are less case of
causality and the prescriptions that needed to be followed by the caregivers was much easier.
They had a blueprint to follow the instructions that are verbally instructed before. The
translator and interpreters need enhanced a better communication between the patients and
the doctors. The hospitals is showing improvements by installing digital technology and this
has minimized the risk in the organization.
