Full Title: 

NSA TPMG COM:  4/5/22 Clinician Communication Workshop

Description:

 

The Member Patient Satisfaction (MPS) survey and HCAHPS Patient Satisfaction Scores from surveys completed and returned by patients recently discharged from both the Vacaville and Vallejo hospitals have indicated that there is a need for improvement in “Communications with Doctors”.

 Many Napa Solano physicians have a 12 month average MPS (Member Patient Satisfaction) score less than their respective department’s regional average.  This means that the majority of the surveyed patients that they saw over the past 12 months failed to rate them “Excellent” or “”Very good” on the following items: 

1. Skills and ability

2. Confidence in the care provided

3. How well they listened and explained

4. Involvement of the patient in medical decision making

5. Familiarity with the patient’s medical history

Target Audience

New clinicians to be given communication tools early in their practice lives with Kaiser Permanente.

Learning Objectives

1.  Apply the Four Habits Model of Communication to any patient encounter:

    - Open visits in a welcoming manner & quickly establish rapport.
     - Efficiently elicit the patient's concerns.
     - Demonstrate empathy
     - Close the visit with a plan while engaging the patient in active discussion.

2.  Apply the SPIKES model of breaking bad news:
