M6 QQTP – Providing Healthcare to persons with limited English proficiency

If you need a refresher, reread the instructions on how to respond to the Discussion areas in this course using the Questions, Quotations, and Talking Points (QQQTP) Approach.

The discussion for module 6 is related to health care for those with limited English proficiency. In these circumstances, there are significant challenges for the patient and the provider, and strategies must be employed to promote effective communication. For this Discussion:
You will choose an article from the SUNY Empire library. Using the advanced search, enter “limited English proficiency” on one line, and “healthcare” on a second line. Use the settings to specify articles with a start date of 2019, so you get the most current information. You will likely find sources that address the population you are interested in or with whom you work. It will be interesting to see if we can identify specific challenges or successful strategies based on students’ discussion posts.
While reading, take notes so you can gather information for your post. For example, as a question comes to mind be sure to write it down. Same for the quotation, when one comes along that strikes you, write it down.
When you are done reading, take time to reflect on that reading material so that you can formulate a post to the discussion area by Thursday of the first week of the module that includes the following:
post a question that invites analysis, synthesis, or evaluation of the reading material or makes connections between the readings and previous discussions or readings. Your classmates will answer this question.
provide a quotation, one that is especially pertinent or relevant to the main points of the reading and one that will prompt significant discussion;
post two (2) Talking points that you think with initiate discussion amongst your classmates. These points should show that you have thought seriously and critically about the readings. These should let your classmates “see inside your head” as to what you think, accept, reject about the reading material. Your 2 talking points should cover different topics from the readings. The purpose of formulating and posting these is to help you organize your thoughts and focus your ideas.
