Innovative Communication Approaches in Healthcare
A seminar focusing on new interaction methods with patients was held for healthcare workers in Odessa.
The event was organized with the support of the local health department and an early intervention methodological center.
It involved specialists from various medical fields, nurses, psychologists, and more.
Alternative communication serves as a vital tool for individuals with communication challenges, especially when they cannot speak due to injury or illness.
This includes the use of gestures, drawings, and modern technologies to enhance interaction.
Understanding alternative communication methods greatly assists healthcare providers in effectively engaging with patients.
These methods also promote social integration and ensure access to medical services for everyone.
Last week, a seminar was conducted for social workers and educators as part of the «Barrier-Free Odessa» program.
Accessibility encompasses not just physical access but also the accessibility of services to the public.
The city administration is actively working on implementing the strategy for creating a barrier-free environment in Ukraine by 2030.
