Hal ini pun berpotensi menyebabkan krisis citra dan menurunkan kepercayaan pasien kepada berbagai fasilitas kesehatan terduga pengguna vaksin palsu. Berbagai media massa menempatkan RS Karya Medika II Tambun, Bekasi dalam daftar fasilitas kesehatan yang diduga menggunakan vaksin palsu. Meskipun Kementerian Kesehatan menyatakan bahwa vaksin palsu tidak mengandung bahan yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan, terpapar vaksin palsu masih menjadi kekhawatiran para pengguna jasa rumah sakit tersebut.Hal ini mengharuskan rumah-rumah sakit terduga untuk segera mengembangkan komunikasi untuk menjaga kepercayaan konsumen.Studi ini merupakan rangkaian penelitian komunikasi pasca krisis di RS Karya Medika II Tambun yang dikembangkan dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif.Pengambilan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, studi dokumen dan literatur.Studi pendahuluan ini menyimpulkan rumah sakit ini mendapatkan vaksin palsu dari pemasok, namun tidak terpakai karena tidak adanya kejadian yang membutuhkan penanganan dengan menggunakan vaksin tersebut.Oleh karenanya pasca krisis, strategi komunikasi perlu dijalankan agar pengguna jasa yakin dengan pelayanan prima dari RS Karya Medika II Tambun. Kata Kunci: kesehatan, komunikasi, krisis, public relations, rumah sakit, vaksin palsu PENDAHULUAN Tidak ada satu pihak pun yang kebal dari krisis. Industri, organisasi, dan tokoh publik juga dapat mengalami krisis. Krisis dapat dilihat sebagai sebuah situasi atau kejadian yang berdampak negatif pada organisasi (Luhukay, 2008). Namun di balik dampak negatif sebuah krisis, ada " berkah " tersembunyi yang dapat dimanfaatkan oleh para praktisi kehumasan (public relations). Situasi krisis menjadi peluang bagi organisasi untuk lebih dikenal oleh publik. Situasi ini akan menempatkan organisasi di bawah " lampu sorot " pencitraan yang menjadi magnet bagi liputan media serta diperbincangkan oleh masyarakat luas (Wasesa & Macnamara, 2010). Oleh karenanya, krisis perlu dikelola dengan maksimal sehingga mampu mendatangkan " berkah " pencitraan. Eksistensi humas menjadi vital bagi setiap bisnis, termasuk bisnis pelayanan kesehatan.

It has been emerging in Indonesia in recent years because of some issues. The primary issue is that traditional pencak silat is dying in its homeland, Indonesia. The number of people who learn traditional pencak silat is decreasing. Meanwhile, some countries have claimed that pencak silat originated from their lands. To prevent traditional pencak silat from vanishing, public relations efforts may be an option. How does public relations become helpful to put the public back to pencak silat? A literature study has been performed. In-depth interviews were organized to gain insights from an organization focused on traditional pencak silat. The study offered both online and offline PR approaches. The community may take the advantages of community relations to build engagement with the public. The spirit of pencak silat may also be shared through direct communication with audiences. Finally, all activities must be published on online media to strengthen online presence and to increase internet publicity. Abstrak-Pencak silat merupakan salah satu bentuk kebudayaan khas Indonesia. Pencak silat telah menjadi perhatian dalam beberapa waktu terakhir karena pencak silat tradisional terancam punah di negeri asalnya sendiri. Di saat jumlah pewaris pencak silat menurun, negara-negara lain berebut klaim bahwa aliran pencak silat miliknyalah yang lebih asli dibanding Indonesia. Untuk mencegah kepunahan pencak silat, pendekatan hubungan kemasyarakatan (public relations) bisa menjadi andalan. Bagaimana strategi public relations dapat membantu komunitas pencak silat tradisional untuk menarik hati masyarakat? Studi literatur dan wawancara mendalam telah dilakukan untuk menggali informasi dari komunitas pencak silat tradisional. Penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana strategi public relations membantu komunitas pencak silat secara daring maupun luring. Komunitas pencak silat dapat menggunakan pendekatan ini untuk membangun partisipasi (engagement) dengan publik. Berbagi semangat pencak silat pun dapat dilakukan dengan berkomunikasi secara langsung maupun daring. Seluruh kegiatan komunitas penting untuk dipublikasikan pada media daring agar kehadiran komunitas di dunia maya semakin kuat dan publisitas semakin meningkat.

Pendahuluan Komunikasi korporat (Corporate communication) berperan penting dalam dinamika bisnis saat ini. Menurut Argenti, ada beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi peran komunikasi korporat. Pertama, kemajuan teknologi yang memungkinkan informasi menyebar dengan cepat. Kedua, meningkatnya kualitas pendidikan dan pemikiran publik. Ketiga, informasi semakin dikemas dengan menarik. Keempat, perusahaan atau organisasi semakin kompleks sehingga dibutuhkan kegiatan komunikasi yang lebih baik untuk menjangkau semua publik (Laksana, 2012). Konsep dasar komunikasi korporat pun berasal dari konsep dasar komunikasi, yakni ada komunikator, pesan yang disampaikan, publik, serta respon publik. Peter Jackson dalam bukunya Corporate Communication for Managers pada tahun 1987, melihat bahwa "corporate communication is the total communication activity generated by a company to achieve its planned objectives" (Hardjana, 2008). Komunikasi korporat dapat juga diartikan sebagai proses yang digunakan perusahaan untuk mengkomunikasikan pesan-pesan kepada konstituen/publik utamanya (Laksana, 2012). Munculnya istilah komunikasi korporat menimbulkan perdebatan antara kalangan akademisi dan praktisi peneliti terhadap ruang lingkup komunikasi korporat. Komunikasi korporat merupakan integrasi antara beberapa fungsi komunikasi, mencakup marketing communication (komunikasi pemasaran), organizational communication (komunikasi organisasi), dan management communication (komunikasi manajemen). Beberapa juga berpendapat bahwa business communication (komunikasi bisnis), public relations (hubungan masyarakat), dan managerial communication (komunikasi manajerial) juga termasuk dalam cakupan komunikasi korporat (Hardjana, 2008).

Sinar Sosro merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang agro industri yang memproduksi berbagai macam produk dengan menggunakan pucuk daun teh sebagai salah satu bahan baku utamanya. PT. Sinar Sosro dengan merek Teh Botol sosro merupakan leader produsen teh siap minum dalam kemasan (TSMDK). Merek sosro yang sudah terkenal di masyarakat tak lain diambil dari pengalaman nama keluarga Sosrodjojo, yang mulai merintis usaha teh wangi melati pada 1940 di slawi, Jawa tengah. Teh merek Sosro diperkenalkan pertama kali pada 1970 dengan merek teh Cap Botol soft Drink Sosrodjojo, baru pada tahun 1974 menjadi Teh Botol Sosro dengan kemasan botol seperti sekarang. Merek tersebut dipakai untuk mendompleng merek teh seduh cap botol yang sudah sudah lebih dulu populer dan mengambil bagian dari nama belakang keluarga Sosrodjojo. PT. Sinar Sosro pada saat ini dihadapkan pada berbagai saingan produk minuman ringan yang tidak hanya dari pesaing lokal, namun juga pesaing asing. Menurut data dari www.topbrand-award.com dalam penelitiannya terhadap pelanggan Teh Botol Sosro yang dilakukan Rizan, Saidani, & Sari (2012) memperlihatkan posisi Teh Botol Sosro sebagai leader dalam market share TSMDK. Persaingan berbagai merek teh dalam kemasan botol membuat perusahaan lebih berhati-hati dalam merancang strategi pemasarannya. Untuk mempertahankan posisi puncak market share TSMDK, Teh Botol Sosro perlu memperkuat strategi pemasarannya.
