Assignment task:
The purpose of this assignment is to apply health communication knowledge and skills gained in the course to educate, increase awareness, and persuade specific groups about a topic related to communication in health care. You also will gain experience with basic project planning and the use of a project planning template, a common tool used in developing and communicating the status of health care projects, as they plan their Healthy Communication campaign. If your team charter was thoughtfully developed, it should guide you through the campaign development. Expanding on the topic in your sociohistorical interview paper, your narrative paper, or anothertopic of interest, design a campaign that highlights the importance of "healthy" communication to specific audiences. "Healthy" has more than one meaning. For example, perhaps your personal narrative about a health care experience leads you to develop a campaign to address communication needs between providers and patients. Perhaps you experienced inconsistent communication among team members inside the organization, so your campaign addresses team communication. Or, if your interest is wellness or policy, you could develop a campaign that communicates a health message to an entire population to either encourage a positive behavior or discourage a negative (risky, unhealthy) behavior.
