Communication
Communication is a range of purposeful behavior
which is used with intent within the structure of
social exchanges to transmit information,
observations, or internal states, or to bring about
changes in the immediate environment. Verbal as
well as nonverbal behaviors are included, as long
as some intent, evidenced by anticipation of
outcome, can be inferred……not all vocalization
or even speech can qualify as intentional
communicative behavior.
Written by Susan Stokes under a contract with CESA 7 and funded by a
discretionary grant from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
Communication
Communication: "Any act by which one person
gives to or receives from another person information
about that person's needs, desires, perceptions,
knowledge, or affective states. Communication may
be intentional or unintentional, may involve
conventional or unconventional signals, may take
linguistic or nonlinguistic forms, and may occur
through spoken or other modes.“
(National Joint Committee for the Communicative Needs of
Persons with Severe Disabilities, 1992, p. 2

Course Assignments
Due June 1
Provider-patient interaction from literature, film or
personal experience.
Apply perspectives from readings, classroom
discussions and personal insights, critically
analyze the interaction in a 2 – 3 page paper.
Particularly focus on the patient’s perspective, but
examine the interactional frame or model used by
both the patient and the provider.
Questions to consider:
What happened in the interaction? Why did it go the way
it did? How was it successful? Unsuccessful? What did
the patient want? Did they achieve their goals? Why, or
why not? Who had a stake in the interaction besides the
patient and provider? What communication model was
used? Was the provider satisfied? Why or why not?
How would the interaction be improved?
Course Assignments
Communication Prescription
Due June 24 - 3 page written paper

Patient-Provider Interaction: A Human Scale
We place a premium on humane interactions with our patients. All
providers greet patients themselves from the waiting room. The
initial discussion of a medical problem(s) takes place in a consulting
room before the patient changes for the physical examination. We
feel this allows the patient to feel fully comfortable discussing their
health as a whole person on equal standing, face to face, rather
than trying to present one’s medical concerns while perched on an
examining table, half naked or draped in a flimsy, backless medical
gown!
After changing for the purpose of physical examination (into one of
those flimsy, backless medical gowns!), the patient is then given a
full physical or a problem-focused examination. Following the
examination, the patient dresses and meets again with the doctor or
nurse practitioner to discuss the results of investigations, diagnosis,
and the proposed management plan. Health education and
preventative medicine are an integral part of this part of the
consultation. Patients are encouraged to take an active part in this
process as we recognize that such collaboration leads to the best
outcome.
