Communication Strategies for an Effective Policy Making Visit
Effective communication usually happens when a complete message is sent and fully received as well as understood by an audience completely. An effective communication is about getting the correct and clear message to the right person in the right medium for the stipulated period of time. Healthcare professionals face challenges when using guidelines and during the understanding the quality of the evidence and preferences upon which the required recommendations are made and followed. The problem of obesity has become significant because it is affecting the greater part of Miami, especially the elderly population (Black,2014). In fact, it is possible to decrease the obesity level by launching the dietary clubs across the city with the educational purpose. Thus, it will be proposed to develop and integrate the educational intervention that is legislatively fixed at the country level in order to reduce the incidence of obesity among Miami elderly people. This paper is aimed to design the current problems for further introducing to a legislator in the Cutler Bay city to Peggy Bell Mayor and Ralph Cazals town managers.
Empirical Evidence
In order that the communication will be effective, it is significant to develop an effective communication strategies and techniques with follow-up supporting the visit to the legislator. First of all, the success and efficiency of any business depends on how effectively the members can communicate. Secondly, effective communication should be based on the good listening skills, non-verbal language, atmosphere of openness and mutual clear dialogue (OECD outlook, 2015). Moreover, during the process of planning the visit, it is vital to learn the problem of obesity and to demonstrate the correct facts and data. Thus, despite the fact that the problem of obesity is continuously studied at the federal level, for example on the basis of such programs as Food for Your Heart or Dietary and Coronary Heart Disease, the initiative to reduce the obesity level among the elderly population in the specific communities has to be studied and developed (Jahangir, De Schutter, & Lavie, (2014). Furthermore, healthcare professionals, policymakers as well as patients have to aspire to making the healthcare decisions in accordance to the best available research evidence. In order to present clear data and facts to a healthcare decision makers and legislator, the complexity of the problem has to be performed both in patient encounters and health policy decision-making. Therefore, it is significant to develop and evaluate strategies for efficient and effective communication, supporting it by the uptake of evidence0based recommendations to the general public and professionals. First of all, it is recommended to find and evaluate the target group, where people will be with the same problem of obesity. User testing, feedback is effective methods for gathering information and to revise all possible strategies in brainstorming workshops.
The next phase is evaluating the communication strategies, which have to come from the first phase and then randomized trials. The different type of interventions has to be implemented …
