“Nonverbal communication is any meaning conveyed through sounds, behaviors, and artifacts other than words.”Prof Bachner, Araceli

It is imperative to reexamine and embrace the fundamental non-verbal communication skills ingrained in us from birth. The million-dollar question lingers: Are we harnessing these innate abilities in our daily healthcare interactions? Consider the instinctive skills we possessed upon entering the world – the Plantar Grasp, Rooting Reflex, Moro (Startle) – all intricate non-verbal methods nature subtly imparted when verbal communication was beyond our grasp. Isn’t it time to rediscover and apply these primal concepts to bridge communication gaps in healthcare globally using nonverbal communication types (9) in number?

“Most messages are communicated through nonverbal means.”Prof Bachner, Araceli

Types of Non-verbal Communication

1. Kinesics body movement (i.e. hand gestures, eye contact)

2. Haptics touch (I.e. handshake or hug)

3. Appearance, Objects, and Artifacts body and surroundings (i.e. white coats, tattoos, jewelry, or hats)

4. Proxemics space (i.e., personal vs public)

5. Environment the space we occupy (i.e., decorations, color schemes)

6. Chronemics- time (i.e., early to a job interviewed Appointment or fashionably late to a party or late for Code activation)

7. Paralanguage vocal qualities ( accents, volume)

8. Silence when we don’t use words or utterances.

Despite the breakdowns in global healthcare communication systems and Healthcare leadership’s silence for years resembles a state akin to being on costly Verbal/EHR ECMO backed by taxpayers’ money to help underpin stability.

For Sapiens, addressing the communication challenge is crucial for advancing the resilience and responsiveness of healthcare ecosystems worldwide.

Did Mr,Ms? COVID not exhibit an impressive operational triangle akin to healthcare systems utilizing processes resembling our (CPMs) for measurable outcomes? Its  triumphs may be stemmed from prioritizing structural foundations to communicate with fellows nonverbally.

Was  the fellow  not achieving the SMART goals safely  efficiently, effectively, timely with a human centric approach? Did the fellow not show resilience and adaptive resilience with adaptive leadership capabilities to the sapiens?

Don’t we call the fellow’s measures our IOM defined Quality measures in our current HC systems(Healing Hives with noise instead of melodies)to achieve extraordinary quality care outcomes?

Following a thorough review of Bachner, Araceli’s edited book “Introduction to Human Communication,”

I’ve drawn insightful connections to the realm of healthcare communications & emphasized the  need of an elemental patient centric resilient structure for resilient Nonverbal communication ways to push HC towards adaptive resilience to tackle such fellows and climate

Developing Countries:

In developing countries, ChatGPT can help improve access to healthcare by providing remote consultations and diagnostics. For example, patients in rural areas may not have access to specialized doctors or medical facilities. ChatGPT can be used to provide remote consultations and connect patients with the appropriate medical professionals.

In addition, ChatGPT can be used to develop predictive models to identify outbreaks of diseases and track the spread of infectious diseases in real-time. This can help public health officials and medical professionals to respond quickly and effectively to prevent the spread of diseases.

One example of this is the use of ChatGPT to diagnose COVID-19. In collaboration with publicly and privately funded hospitals in such countries, chatbots have been developed that could assess a person’s risk of COVID-19 based on their symptoms and travel history. This helped to ease the burden on healthcare workers and enabled more people to access testing and care.

Third World Countries:

In third world countries, ChatGPT can help address the shortage of medical professionals and lack of access to healthcare. ChatGPT can be used to provide basic health information, such as how to prevent diseases, manage chronic conditions, and address common health concerns. Additionally, ChatGPT can be used to develop predictive models to identify outbreaks of diseases and track the spread of infectious diseases in real-time.

One example of this is the use of ChatGPT in African countries to provide health information to people living in remote areas. In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), a chatbot was developed that could provide information on a range of health topics, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and maternal health. This helped to improve access to healthcare in areas where medical professionals are scarce.

Overall, ChatGPT and other language models have the potential to transform healthcare systems around the world by improving access to healthcare, enhancing the quality of care, and advancing medical research. However, it is important to consider the ethical and privacy implications of using AI in healthcare and ensure that these technologies are developed and deployed in a responsible manner.
