Response to Discussion Response to Rhea Ann Hazen Rhea Ann Hazen, the example you have cited of your organization in your discussionis a distinctive illustration of how two sources of power in a health institution can lead to conflicts.

Your elucidation of learning organizations and complex adaptive systems as models you chose is right. However, I feel that you could have related the examples you gave of the complex adaptive such as the internet and power grids to health care.

Response to Elizabeth Harrell Elizabeth Harrell, I concur with your statement that the way an organization is structured will depict the overall culture of the organization.

In this regard, the ways in which communication is conducted within your organization also portrays the culture of the organization (Geller, 2006). Your example of formal communication within your organization is also spot on. The regular meeting you hold every morning to discuss patients issues is an example of formal communication. In my current organization, any form of communication conducted through the official channels such as meetings, memos, and letters is considered formal. Any form of communication conducted through unauthorized means is considered informal.

For instance, employees discussions during lunch time breaks on issues pertaining the patients is unauthorized as such informal may easily fall into the wrong hands hence breaching patients confidentiality. This is therefore an example of informal communication. ReferencesGeller, E. S. (2006). From good to great in safety: What does it take to be world class? Professional Safety, 51(6), 35–40.Nesse, R.
