Create goals patients and families are ready to embrace. This webinar will show hospice teams how motivational interviewing supports person-centered care, resolves ambivalence, and creates plans of care that patients and families are truly motivated to follow.

KEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYS:

  • The theoretical framework that guides the use of motivational interviewing as a useful approach to creating person-centered plans
  • Strengths and limitations of motivational interviewing
  • Specific techniques and interventions in case-based situations that lead to assessing motivation
  • Using “decisional balance” for fine tuning plans

WEBINAR DETAILS: Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach to creating person-centered goals and plans. So often we develop great looking plans of care but forget that patients and families have not yet caught up with us and are not ready to achieve the goals we set for them. MI focuses on exploring and resolving the ambivalence that naturally occurs in the end-of-life care setting. In this webinar we will take a deep dive into the principles and application of MI to hospice.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Social workers, Chaplains/spiritual counselors, Bereavement professionals, Nurses, Patient care managers
