Course Description:
Creating and improving a connection and relationship between provider and patient can lead to
honest and open dialogue, driving better patient adherence and buy-in and ultimately leading to
better patient outcomes. This is particularly important when a patient is struggling with
managing a chronic condition.
However, providers are not typically trained in the strategies and skills to effectively activate
patients. Their training is focused on a less collaborative, hierarchical communication style.
This course (and the Patient Activation series) will challenge the traditional top-down approach
to communication that permeates the current state of healthcare. The course will succinctly and
powerfully give providers strategies and skills to truly connect with patients and activate them in
their own health and wellness goals. This course focuses on approaches to support patient selfmanagement
of chronic conditions.
