Patients' health behaviors often contribute to the onset of their
diseases, and their continued behavior can either help or hinder their
progress. Healthcare providers need motivational strategies that respect
the individual's state of mind but result in behavior changes that improve
the patient's outcomes.
In this special report, "Motivating Resistant Patients:
Influencing Behaviors to Improve Outcomes," HIN's panel of experts described how their organizations meet the challenges of motivating patients who are resistant to change.
You'll hear from Rick Botelho, MD, professor of family medicine at the University of
Rochester Family Medicine Center, Richard Citrin, PhD, vice president of EAP solutions at UPMC Health Plan and former vice president of Integrated Care Management,
Corphealth Inc. and Barbara Rutkowski, EdD, medical manager, St. Mary’s Managed Care
Services on the strategies that their organizations have developed to meet these challenges.
This 40-page report is based on the February 2, 2005 audio conference "Beyond Giving Information & Advice: Motivating Resistant Patients" during which Botelho, Citrin and Rutkowski described their organizations' initiatives and program results.
You'll get details on:
- A stepped approach to behavior change;
- Strategies that get through to resistant patients;
- Sustaining participation;
- Tips for engaging patients; and
- Involving patients in change.
