breaking bad news
This document discusses best practices for delivering bad news to patients. It notes that delivering bad news is stressful for physicians due to feelings of anxiety, responsibility, and fear of upsetting patients. It recommends gathering information from patients about their expectations beforehand. When delivering the news, physicians should provide clear, plain language information and check for understanding. They should acknowledge and support patients' emotional reactions with empathic responses. After delivering the news, physicians should assess patients' readiness to discuss treatment plans and answer any questions before summarizing and following up. The goal is to reduce stress for both patients and physicians while ensuring patients receive information and support.
Customer Service.pptx
The document discusses the importance of customer service skills in healthcare. It notes that while health science textbooks do not extensively cover customer service, the lines between professional behavior and customer service are often blurred.

Meeting patient expectations is important for satisfaction, and healthcare workers are responsible for this. The document emphasizes that the customer service needs are even greater in healthcare compared to other industries due to patients often being sick, frightened, or facing life-threatening illnesses. It provides tips for healthcare workers to focus on patient needs, speak courteously, and properly handle any complaints in order to improve the patient experience and avoid losing patients to other

Patient Care Analytics
Patient-focused medical treatment puts the patient at the top of healthcare’s hierarchy of values and at the center of its mission to achieve a higher degree of safety, higher quality care, and improved patient experience.
Path to Care
Patients make complex decisions about where to seek healthcare based on logical factors like an organization's reputation and resources as well as emotional perspectives. Qualitative research methods like experience mapping interviews that follow patients' journeys are most effective for understanding their decision-making process. These in-depth individual conversations allow patients to openly share personal details and nuanced experiences in selecting a provider. Uncovering how patients first became aware of issues, who they consulted, and what resources influenced their choices provides insights to help healthcare organizations better position themselves and engage patients strategically.
Helping People Heal
Study and survey results indicate that digital can best be deployed by healthcare and life sciences/pharmaceuticals practitioners and companies to offer "warm" treatment that encourages and empowers patients in order to yield excellent health outcomes and operational efficiencies.

Educate, Engage Your Patients
- 1. Educate and Engage Your Patients
- 2. Patients demand solutions in real time- and if you are not able to answer, they will google someone who can.
- 3. To excel in this environment, you need to create a very simple two-step process to speak to your patients called Educate and Engage.
- 4. Educate. In order to gain the trust and respect, you need to provide your patients with the opportunity to learn about their health and how to avoid diseases at every step in their health journey. This includes every touch point you have with your patient- on your website, in your waiting and exam rooms, and in newsletters and emails.
- 5. Engage. Patient Engagement is a huge buzz topic. How to get the patient more interested in their health. How to make them proactive in disease prevention. By being proactive (personal follow up calls, being available for set hours for patient calls, etc.), you can help increase engagement.
- 6. But to reach your patients better, you need to believe the following statements: “Smarter patients are healthier patients.” “Healthier patients are more involved in their “Patients who are more involved with their health are more likely to follow their treatment plan.”
- 7. If you believe all three statements, then you need to call Halo Health. We turn your practice or health system into an environment where you educate and engage with your patient at every turn. Our digital education solutions are easy and inexpensive to implement and help increase practice revenue through increased patient engagement.
