Communication Tools for Upper Management in Healthcare Settings

This report analyzes communication tools suitable for upper management in the healthcare sector, specifically focusing on improving patient care. The author suggests utilizing prototyping or simulation as a primary method to present ideas, highlighting its ability to provide a tangible representation of proposed solutions. The report emphasizes the importance of clear, concise communication and suggests using graphics to maintain engagement. The author also acknowledges the importance of considering the costs associated with implementation. Furthermore, the report references several studies that support the use of simulation in healthcare and cultural competence training. The aim of the report is to provide the upper management with a clear understanding of the issues and the benefits of the proposed solution.

Assignment 7
Communication Tool for Upper Management
For improving the patient care the upper management needs to be communicated for support and
fund. So, I will select one of the type of communication tool that I would use for presenting the
ideas. The following are the few communication tolls discussed in here:
The storytelling tool can provide a detailed description of the situation and can be highlighted as
against the area to be improved based on the actual facts, since this idea of story- telling is an
appealable approach.
The prototyping or simulation helps in making the solution tangible. But, before implementing
this, the costs must be evaluated based on the equipment, labour, time, and skills and in so doing
the inevitable feasibility, or its applicability, and furthermore the ability to deploy can be
established (Stasha-GaeRoberts. Maria Warda, SusanGarbutt , KimCurry, 2014).
There are also other types of communication tools, like Emails or by Power- point presentations,
but based on the seriousness of the things to be communicated with the upper management, these
cannot be held to be the best.
As, the overall story needs an elaboration and must focus on the measures, the limitation of them
will help in identifying the opportunity gap, and it then that the objective which are intended can
be implied towards the benefits to it.
The basic point for a successful upward communication is in emphasizing the benefits of the
ideas I will presenting, since it is irrelevant to detail the background or the processes, so the
construction of communication must be quite precise and vividly clear, so that the upper
management gets the actual essence and the need of it.
So, the communication tools I will be using is the prototyping or simulation, which will be
containing the information which are precise, clear and only points the issue concerned. I will
deploy graphics so as to engage and thereby sustain the attention of the upper management
(EdaOzkara San, 2015).
