Based on Vos and Schoemaker the internal communication management in the hospital is significant for: 1) supporting organization main activities- information transmission and exchange is important for supporting medical services. Effective communication will ensure high quality and quick access to this service; 2) to promote participation for the staff- employee involvement in organization is essential to motivate and develop an organizational culture and motivate personnel; 3) to support changies in organization- to support changes is essential to the health care institution to deal with emergency situations. Particularly important is support for changes in the transmission of information. Employees must be aware of why changes are made, and for whom. Based on Grunig (2002) who brings out the factors that influence the communication in organizations; 1) centralization- how decisions are taken on the upper level of the hierarchy in the organization;. 2) stratification- the number of hierarchical levels of the organization shows who are in higher and who are in lower level;. 3) formalization- how many rules and norms are in organization and how organization follows them; 4) complexity- how organizations train their employees and how many posts are routine and require flexibility to change behavior; 5) participation in decision-making process- how many members of the organization participate in decision-making.

Very important is preparing stuff for developing the communication strategy. The hospital has a lot of professional trainings, but training about communication is still unorganized. All key personnel must be involved in internal communication management process. Other internal communication organizers should be informed throw infrormation days and for example internal newsletter. It is also important to assess risks for preparing to develop the communication strategy. Organization must take into account the factors affecting the implementation of internal and external influences, considered as risks to non-public health policies and the aging of the county. Internally, the preparation and implementation should be made for the obstacles which arise from the hierarchical structure and an aging workforce. Deficiencies in the recognition and the restructuring is an important aspect of preparing a communication
