Finally, it will explain the importance of ethics in communication and how patient safety is influenced by good or bad team communication. The first method of communication is mutual respect. The patient and clinician have a partnership based on trust.

Some of the resources that can assist employees like Mimi Hall and Gail Newel in executing public health measures in the face of opposition include the APHA Code of Ethics and the Pandemics Ethics Dashboard (Murtagh & Erwin, 2022). The APHA Code of Ethics provides a framework that acts as a guideline for public health professionals in making sound and ethical decisions (Murtagh & Erwin, 2022). It also offers principles and standards that champion the protection and alleviation of public health, and it can be utilized to communicate the essence and the rationale behind specific measures to the public. When professionals reference the APHA Code of Ethics, they showcase commitment to the ethical practice of public health and justify their actions.

Facing a health crisis that deals with many of the populace involves: “respect for society, coordination of organizations and an institution with scientific weight to the people and to the media, who acted as spokesman in situations of public health risk, to get confidence citizens” (Busko). The technical capacity of health professionals “is more proven than the public officials, which suggests a greater share of the former and better training of the second” (Selby). The state of Texas has never had a crisis like this or others experiences that were similar. Crises are challenges that must be learned from both their errors and successes since they serve to bring about to the devices and improve the response to other crises. It is important to perform analysis of previous responses, and research and testing, to prepare themselves for another health crisis.
There were communication mistakes and other mistakes made during Hurricane Katrina. First of all, detailed and direct information was sent to people for evacuation too close to the time when Katrina was about to hit, not allowing people to prepare for the disaster. If things could be done differently, there should be communication and coordination centers housed in areas where information can be sent directly to the authorities. The lack of ability to communicate with each other and coordinate a response was another mistake. Federal officials struggle to perform responsibilities that are usually conducted by State or local authorities, such as to rescue citizens stranded by the floodwater and evacuate the remaining population of New Orleans

They need to a have multiple strategies for disasters or chaotic situation and also have people charge in this plan, have a list of who would to participate, and have them rotate, have extra volunteers.
External Communications The importance of external communications cannot be measured when it comes to crisis communications. Currently many forms of media is used by companies to communicate with the public, some of the most common ones are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the most widely used television and radio.
