Describe Communication Strategies for a Health Care Initiative.

Overview A communication plan is a strategy for conveying a message to an audience. It defines the approach that will used to communicate with communities. In this assignment, you will develop a communication plan for an organization that serves a Native American population. Use the following scenario to develop your communication plan: Scenario It has been acknowledged by the clinic that you work for that the Native American population in your community is underserved. There is also concern that they may not recognize how significant it is to seek care so you want to identify a way to reach and engage them so they could possibly be more mindful of their health. It’s important that you reach out to them effectively. Your communication plan must include the following: *Describes the key components of a successful health care delivery system in an indigenous community, and identifies knowledge gaps, unknowns, missing information, unanswered questions, or areas of uncertainty (where further information could enhance the quality of the health care delivery system). *Describes the factors that prevent access and use of health care in indigenous populations, and supports with relevant scholarly resources. *Analyzes efficacy of current public health approaches used in a specific indigenous community, and impartially considers conflicting data and other perspectives. *Aligns the key messages of a health care initiative to the needs and culture of a specific population group, and identifies assumptions on which the alignment is based. *Recommends a culturally appropriate communication strategy for a targeted audience, and identifies criteria that could be used to evaluate the strategy. *Outlines the strategy for two-way communication between a health care provider and a specific community, and identifies knowledge gaps, unknowns, missing information, unanswered questions, or areas of uncertainty (where further information could improve the outline).
