Setting mutually agreed goals with your patient will help them feel involved in the medical decision making process and keep the patient focused on achieving the best health outcomes. Having clear goals also allows the effectiveness of the treatment program to be monitored, helping you to pinpoint which interventions might be successful, and which actions are ineffective. You will reach goals quicker and help reduce patient anxiety.

This interactive online CME course will assist you in the process of agreeing with patients on mutual goals, overcoming barriers to goal achievement, and negotiating with patients to find common ground.
