comprehensive pharmacy services to nursing
facilities as early as the 1950s.

OUTCOMES
INTERMEDIATE
OUTCOMES
UNDERSTANDING
LONG-TERM
OUTCOMES
Barriers to effective consultation
Consultant factors
• Lack of time (real or perceived)
• Inadequate clinical information.
• Inadequate clinical skills.
• Inadequate communication skills.
• Attitudinal problems.
• Poor recovery from previous stressful
consultation or life events.
• Artificial stimulants.
Patient factors
•Lack of time (real or perceived)
•Fear (of consultant, pain and dying)
•Lack of understanding of basic biology and
probability.
•Unscientific health beliefs.
•Unrealistic expectations of the health service.
•Unrealistic expectations of medical science.
•Aggressive attitude.
•Mental illness.
•Artificial stimulants.
CONSULTATION BEHAVIORS
For effective consultation, the health
care professional also needs to draw
upon a range of communication
behaviors.
1. QUESTIONING STYLE
Appropriate use of open, leading and
closed questions.
Open question: ‘Tell me more
about’……’What is the pain like?’
Closed question: ‘Have you lost weight?’
2. Empathy, Empowerment and Enablement
An empathetic consultant can empower the
patient and enable them to ‘move on’ from
their problem productively.
3. REFLECTION
Reflect back a phrase or symptom that the
patient has mentioned in order to explore it
further.
Patient: ‘I have been feeling a bit out of
sorts....’
Consultant: ‘Out of sorts….tell me what you
mean by this.’
4. RESPONDING TO CUES
‘You seem very upset/anxious…’
is an example of responding to non-verbal cue.
5. NARRATIVE
Patients invariably present their problems as a
story:
‘This happened..
and then happened….
and then I felt something.. .
I talked to a few people about it. . .
Now I want to know what to do. . . . ’
Patients want to go away with a better story:
‘My problem seems less ….
I understand it better……
now I know what to do…..’
6. MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING
A negotiating style for helping people to
change behavior by helping patients to
explore and resolve ambivalence, increasing
motivation to change
Persuasion and coercion are not appropriate
Exploring both
the
disease and ill-
ness
experience
Understand-
ing
the whole
person
Finding
common
grounds
Problems
Goals
Roles
Person
Disease
Illness
Context
History
Lab
Disease
Illness
Ideas, Expectations,
Feelings, effects on
function
Mutual
Decision
Enhancing the
patient - consultant
relationship
Incorporating
prevention and
health promotion
Being
realistic
7. PATIENT CENTEREDNESS
8. CHOICE OF WORDS
Little Words Can Make A big Difference
But And
Think Sure
OK? Just don’t use
Why? What? How?
Need Just don’t use
9. Excellent communication skills ALONE
are not enough!!
Good communication requires a combination of. . . . .
KNOWLEDGE
