MAS sponsors Leadership Communication series for Point-of-Care Groups

Medical Automation Systems (MAS) has provided an interactive leadership communication presentation targeted to Point of Care Coordinators. Led by Rick Import, this presentation includes role play situations and provides attendees of POC group meetings with techniques and tips to improve communications with supervisors and operators. Rick Import owns ESI Productions LLC, a media and communication training business that provides in-depth communication skills course and coaching for professional and non-professional presenters.

Content includes:
  • Isolate communication challenges presented to POCC’s resulting from the diversity of their responsibilities and cultures of the various groups, e.g., nurses, operators, laboratorians, and physicians with whom they work
  • Understand that communication is very different from conversation, and that there is a process that facilitates productive communication
  • Analyze the impact each individual’s perspective has on perception and how it influences effective communication
  • Compare and interactively illustrate certain forms of general communication; distinguish between those that are productive and those that are not
  • Isolate and modify reflexive responses and behavior that are counter productive to establishing an atmosphere for productive communication
  • Delineate the various forms of passive and active listening and appraise their usefulness in communication
  • Using interactive situational dialog customized for the POCC, analyze and understand the difference between non-productive and productive communication
  • Illustrate the ways in which words become the least important message delivery system, and how the body becomes the most important
  • Formulate techniques to use as proactive methods of communication preparation to establish a communicative environment
Objectives include:
  • Allow the POCC to achieve faster, simpler and more positive results from tasks involving and relying on interaction with other individuals and groups with whom they work.
  • Understand the obstacles facing productive communication and construct a customized process to remove those obstacles.
  • Gain the knowledge of skills that can be practiced and improved to communicate productively with virtually anyone
