Die Academy of Communication in Healthcare: Schwesterorganisation von EACH

Die Academy of Communication in Healthcare (ACH) ist das berufliche Zuhause für alle, die sich für die Verbesserung der Kommunikation und Beziehungen im Gesundheitswesen einsetzen.

Die Vision besteht darin, ein Gesundheitssystem zu schaffen, in dem sich alle Patienten, medizinischen Fachkräfte, Auszubildenden und Forscher wertgeschätzt fühlen, gleichberechtigt mit Respekt, Mitgefühl und Verständnis behandelt werden und aktiv an Prozessen und Entscheidungen im Gesundheitswesen beteiligt sind.

In ungeraden Jahren veranstaltet ACH abwechselnd mit JEDEM die Internationale Konferenz über Kommunikation im Gesundheitswesen.

Internationale Kommunikationsvereinigung (ICA)

The International Communication Association aims to advance the scholarly study of human communication by encouraging and facilitating excellence in academic research worldwide.

EACH/ICA Partnership Working Group

 2023-2024 Working Group Leads

Marie C. Haverfield, marie.haverfield@sjsu.edu (San José State University, USA) (EACH member, ICA member)
Song Duimel, s.duimel@nki.nl (Netherlands Cancer Institute-Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, NL) (EACH member, ICA member)

Beginning in December 2020, researchers who have been members of EACH: International Association for Communication in Healthcare but whose primary affiliation is the International Communication Association (ICA) and who are part of the Health Communication Division of ICA worked with leaders of EACH to create a partnership between the two organizations.

This partnership offers opportunities to be involved in both EACH and ICA, become involved in the discussion and potential collaboration opportunities through networking, mentoring, and public forums at conferences and online webinars. This partnership has potential to bring organizational structure for people who want to advance their own research and network across both organizations. At the collective level, the partnership expands our international networks to do research across country and disciplinary boundaries. The robust, theoretically-based work that is a foundation of ICA members, and the expertise in and access to healthcare communication of EACH members, provides a cornerstone for the future.

The EACH/ICA Partnership Working Group comprises researchers who are members of EACH and the Health Communication Division of ICA.

The aims of this Working Group are to:

• develop opportunities for members to be involved in both EACH and ICA
• foster collaboration through networking and mentoring, at public forums, conferences and online webinars.

At the collective level, the partnership expands our international networks to do research across country and disciplinary boundaries.
