Communicating Diagnosis Effectively

Purpose:
This program will provide doctors and their staff specific instruction on how to help them communicate persuasively with patients and each other. This will facilitate follow-through, collections, treatment plan acceptance, and interpersonal communications of all types. It was originally created as a means to help doctors avoid patient and staff conflicts pro-actively. This is sometimes necessary to avoid problems which can become law-suits and peer review cases. By taking a scientific and reasoned approach to interpersonal commu­nications, everyone in the office will benefit.

Communicating Diagnosis Effectively
provides case studies in real-world communications within the practice including collections, case presentations, staff performance/salary re­views which the doctor and staff are likely to encounter on a daily basis. The approach is specific to the way REAL professionals have to communicate.

Benefits:
Participants will learn how to communicate through barriers of perception and false expectation. The will be given specific dialogues on how to ascertain a patient's "core values" for future communication. The "team" will also be provided a working model to communicate between doctors, staff, and vendors.:

  • Overcoming reluctance caused by fear of pain, confinement or money.
  • Gaining perspective in interpersonal conflicts.
  • Mastering the doctor's apprehensions of perceived conflict.
  • Helping each participant to feel comfortable in new interpersonal contacts.

The Presenter:
Scott McDonald is a marketing professional. He founded Scott McDonald & Associates in 1986 to meet the research and marketing needs of small business and indus­tries.

This course is appropri­ate for California C.E.
