OBJECTIVES:
Health care professionals and delivery systems are challenged to improve resource utilization and health outcomes by reducing admissions, readmissions, and nonadherence. A small percentage of most populations experience these challenges: those with complex medical conditions complicated by mental health diagnoses and social issues. Learning to better engage with a patient, assess risk, and target interventions in a true, person-centered approach can reduce the risk of worsening health, move patients to self-management, and improve health outcomes.
As a result of participating in this program, the Learner will:
- Explore patient engagement strategies that result in trusted relationships
- Demonstrate a new comprehension of longitudinal risk assessment
- Identify how to target interventions based on a risk assessment
