Charts to Navigate the Challenging Conversations We Face in Well-Being
|
|
The time-pressured existence of physicians does not always prepare us well for the painstaking conversations we must have to engage our institutions in meaningful change that promote well-being. So much of our communication is directive. We are encouraged to be decisive. Patients and other health care professionals often rely on us for “the last word” even when there is uncertainty. This “commanding” style of communication often serves us well in clinical interactions. It can be less effective when we advocate with the diverse stakeholders in our complex practice environments where multiple interests are at play. It may even backfire. This webinar will review the fundamentals of effective communication and offer some tools to help us navigate the challenging conversations we face in well-being.

Tulsa gunman blamed doctor for back pain, police sayThis story received a great deal of attention, and I suspect many doctors and their families took note of the fact that a disgruntled patient shot his doctor. Will this story increase the fear that doctors might have of being shot by their patients? What will health systems need to do to minimize the risks and fears?
The subjective nature of residency training programs opens them up to potential bias and discrimination. According to this two-part series of articles, elite surgical training programs are particular prone to being unfair to black doctors in training.

The researchers describe their study of 15,000 employees in mostly not healthcare organizations around the word.
