Dutch term or phrase: kruislingse communicatie
Should this be "crossways" communication? I'm having trouble with the whole sentence which is
"Bij behoefte aan kruislingse communicatie is het eventueel mogelijk daaronder liggende kaders erbij te betrekken". Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

cross-communication
Explanation:
Although nowadays, this term seems to have been usurped by the data-networking field, where it has specific meanings, it has similar meanings in ordinary communication and forms part of the language teaching curriculum in many countries, e.g. Japan and Korea.
An example of the term in a data networking setup, the following quotation is from a patent application for a method of operating a network:
Abstract: For operating a network having a primary station and at least two secondary stations, the primary station communicates with the at least two secondary stations, and the at least two secondary stations communicate with one another to furnish a cross communication, and the cross communication is effected by telegrams which are generated in the context of communications cycles.
An example of the term in a healthcare situation:

Kiran Mali- A Systematic Approach to Cross Communication in Health Care
Communication is an indispensable part of health care. Styles of communication are cultural constructs and therefore, even when language isn't a barrier, effective communication can prove to be difficult. In cancer care, there are three distinct intersects in communicating with community. One is when communicating about prevention; another is when communicating the diagnosis, and finally communicating the treatment. Each of these intersect and should be examined carefully with the unique characteristic and needs of the community in mind. The main question, health care providers need to ask is how do we engage ethno-cultural communities through communication.

cross communication


Explanation:
Crosswise zou formeel kunnen, maar ik ken alleen de uitdrukking "cross communication" uit dagelijkse spreektaal. Bv: Cross communication is not allowed (in groups). Or: If cross communication is desired, lower (management) levels should be included.

cosswise communication


Explanation:
In een leerboek over management (en communicatie) het volgende:

Downward Communication
Upward Communication
Crosswise Communication


"Communication in organizations flows basically in three ways, downwards, upwards, and crosswise. Downward communication refers to the rules, regulations, and instructions conveyed by superiors to subordinates. Upward communication refers to the flow of information from employees at the operational level upward to the top executive along the chain of command.

Crosswise communication consists of two types of information flows, horizontal flow and diagonal flow. Horizontal flow refers to the flow of information among people at the same level in the organizational hierarchy, whereas diagonal flow refers to the flow of information among people at different levels in the hierarchy."

--------------------------------------------------

So if there is a need for crosswise communication - more specifically, the diagonal variant - people at different levels (higher and lower "kaders") can be involved.
