Eliciting Patient Concerns
It is known that eliciting all of a patient’s concerns improves their health outcomes and overall satisfaction with the visit. However, physicians often avoid eliciting all of a patient’s concerns because they fear it could lengthen the visit. How do we balance these often competing drivers so that you and your patient are on the same page?
This interactive online CME course will show you how to take stock early in the visit and prioritize collaboratively, so important patient issues are addressed first and fully. Honing your ability to build trust and identify opportunities for empathy will help address more concerns without affecting visit length.
