Treating Patients with C.A.R.E.:
This workshop shows how to Connect, Appreciate, Respond and Empower your patients. Participants learn communication skills that enhance patient satisfaction, encourage patients to take an active role in their health care and ultimately improve health outcomes. This communication workshop assists staff members in health care organizations who interact with patients and wish to communicate more effectively within the healthcare setting.
The Empathy Effect:Countering Bias to Improve Health Outcomes:
We all have empathy but how can we do a better job of showing it? How a person’s health team treats them influences their health outcomes and
the experience/satisfaction of care delivery. The Empathy Effect (EE) workshop walks learners through the empathy conveyance model as they examine their own beliefs and biases using self-reflection and focuses on practical skills that learners can bring to their work immediately.
The goal of the EE workshop is to enable all team members in interactions that offer compassion and respect by boosting learner’s personal self-awareness and communication skills that heighten clients’ sense of empathy and connectivity. Applying the skills with patients/families and colleagues can also improve staff’s own experience of their work, address compassion fatigue and help prevent burnout.
