Discussion: Health Communication
Jean is a health care administrator for a hospital that serves an urban population. Jean is promoting a recent initiative to install a free clinic to provide minor urgent care. Before the hospital can begin allocating resources to install the free clinic, the hospital directors are asking that Jean establish a community meeting to allow community members to provide feedback on what type of medical services the free clinic should provide. Jean would like to announce the community meeting to generate interest.
What considerations should Jean keep in mind when announcing the community meetings? How might Jean integrate the feedback from community members to ensure that the free clinics health care services marketing campaign effectively communicates the types of services offered by the free clinic?
For this Discussion, review the resources for this week and reflect on elements of health communication essentials for the role of a health care administrator. Then, consider how trends in health communication might impact your role as a health care administrator and reflect on how health communication influences future health care services marketing campaigns.
Part 1

Then, explain how one key trend in health communication may affect your role as a health care administrator. Finally, describe one way you might use health communication in a future health care services marketing campaign and explain why.
Part 2
Continue the Discussion and provide additional uses for communication in health care services marketing not mentioned by your colleagues. Be specific and provide examples. Discussion: Philosophy of Science
How does the lens from which you view the world shape your approach to research inquiry? Why is it important as a scholar-practitioner engaged in research to acknowledge your worldview?
The Learning Resources in this first week will help you answer these questions, and they will provide you with a foundation in the philosophy of science that will help you appreciate various research designs and methods. With this foundation, you will be encouraged to reflect on how your assumptions about the acquisition of truth and the nature of the world influence your approach to the research process.
For this Discussion, you will identify an area of interest for a possible research topic. As you read about the different philosophical orientations in this weeks readings, consider if one of these orientations most closely aligns with your worldview and a particular approach to research.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 4
Post a brief description of your topic of research interest. Next, state the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview and explain the epistemological and ontological assumptions of this orientation. Then, explain how these assumptions lend themselves to one or more research approaches.
Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the weeks Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style. 400 words or more
Read a selection of your classmates postings.
