Journal Response MODULE 7

Overview

Strategic communication is a purposeful type of communication to communicate goals and messages in an organization to fulfill its mission. This week we focus on communication strategies and how they impact healthcare. Strategic communication educates, influences, and informs decision-making. Communication processes are pivotal for empowering individuates to arrive at an understanding of issues, consider ideas, innovate, and debate. As we complete the lesson this week and module assignments, you will consider strategic communication and how it impacts healthcare delivery and the impact strategic communication will have on your DNP projects. 

Journal Question:

Drawing upon your readings and life experience, discuss your approach to effective communication strategies and processes. How have these processes worked for you for successful communication (or not)? After completing the readings for the week, what are three new methods you will integrate for successful communication with your DNP project team and stakeholders?
