Abstract

Established as one of the main tasks within the management process, planning enables organizations to achieve their strategic objectives more effectively. In this sense, this article aims to analyze the planning aspects of the integrated organizational communication of a university hospital located in the Northeast region of Brazil, currently managed by a public company under private law. For this, an analysis of two institutional documents was carried out: (a) the institution's strategic master plan; and, (b) the institutional communication policy of the hospital. This research is configured as a case study, in the precepts outlined by Yin (2015). In this framework, semi-structured interviews were carried out with employees (journalist, public relations and advertising intern) of the Social Communication Unit of the referred hospital. With the data obtained, the basic qualitative analysis conceived by Merriam (1998) was applied. Thus, it was noticed that organizational communication planning is conceived in an incipient way and disregards the Publicity and Propaganda segment, which disfigures the integrated organizational communication concept suggested by Kunsch (2014).
