The article of my choosing is “Physician-patient communication regarding patients’ healthcare costs in the US: A systematic review of the literature,” it is a study on how physician-patient communication in healthcare looks into “research gaps” of proposed topic and it looks into possible flaws that are implicated within the article. This article I think is a good example of how information is presented through my major of communication, because it shows how formal piece of writing in communication is presented. Three big parts of what makes this particular article from my discipline of communication is acceptable by how the authors use description from message to build their credibility; research and analysis for content and purpose.
First, a big part that makes most of formal piece of writing in communication is use of the rhetorical situation of message-specifically description. Through the use of description, any author like the authors who wrote this article are able to show a different perspective like how this article address that the problem is not healthcare cost, but possibly how physicians and patients communicate. In addition description is use to thoroughly explain in detailed or show a reader a possibly easier way to easily comprehend the content of the article.
Next, rhetorical situation the authors used for this specific article is research and analysis for content. For research, this article does a great job of providing and using description to provide original research from various authors, methods, and their key findings. Furthermore, within the rhetorical analysis of content is pretty much the meat of information where analysis and composition of their thoughts are compromised and piece together to make one masterpiece of both the authors (Andrea L. Meluch and Willie H. Oglesby).
Last, rhetorical situation I will be talking about that the authors used for this article is purpose. The significant of the purpose on this article and any essay is it gives the audience a focus on what the paper is about. For this particular article, the purpose is to be able to convert people’s perception of how cost of healthcare is not the major problem that is typically focused in this field, but it is the fact that most people do not focus their attention to possibly considering the problem of communication barrier that goes with both the physician and the patient.
For this article, I only focus on what I though the make a huge impact on how information is formulated and promoted for the article’s reader’s to indulge.
