5 3/7/2016 Necessary Conversations Enhancing Communication with Patients and Families Why Bother? The practice of Medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head. - Sir William Osler (Aequanimitas, 1932) Outline: Communication Skills Why bother to enhance communication skills and relational capacities? Is there evidence to support the effort? Concepts for relationship centered care Interpersonal and communication capacities/skills o Relational Skills o Listening Skills o Team work Patient-centered and relationship-centered care 1
6 3/7/2016 The single greatest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. George Bernard Shaw Why Enhance Communication Skills? Communication is a core clinical skill The medical interview is the most commonly performed procedure in clinical medicine The average physician performs at least 200,000 interviews in a 40 year career Why Enhance Communication Skills? It s Evidence Based Effective communication skills are associated with Improved patient outcomes Improved clinical performance and efficiency Improved outcomes for health professionals 2
7 3/7/2016 Why Enhance Communication Skills?

8 3/7/2016 Concepts for Relationship-Centered Care Components of Interpersonal and Communication Skills Relational Skills Listening skills Team Work Patient centered and Relationship centered care Patient -Centered Care Emphasizes the patient s illness experience Views each patient/family as unique Focuses on patient/family needs, perspectives, values Tailors approach to patient based on knowledge of patient/family Relationship -Centered Care The focus is on how patients and clinicians relate to each other Relationships are the medium of care Relationships are therapeutic Both patients and clinicians are active participants Partnership and respect for patient s participation in decisionmaking is valued 4
9 3/7/2016 Relationship -Centered Care: What does the clinician bring? Being present for self and others goes beyond the patientcentered process Awareness of ideas, feelings, and values that influence the relationship Paying attention to one s own behavior. Not just what but how.. I may not remember what you said to me, I may not remember what you did to me, but I will always remember how you made me feel. - Maya Angelou Service Serving is different from fixing. When I fix aperson I perceive them as broken and their brokenness requires me to act. When I fix I do not see the wholeness in the other person or trust the integrity of the life in them. When I serve, I see and trust that wholeness. It is what I am responding to and collaborating with. There is a distance between ourselves and whatever or whomever we are fixing. Fixing is a form of judgement, and judgement creates distance, a disconnection, an experience of difference. We cannot serve at a distance. We can only serve that to which we are profoundly connected, that which we are willing to touch. This is Mother Teresa s basic message. We serve life not because it is broken, but because it is holy. -Rachel Naomi Remen, MD 5
10 3/7/2016 Necessary Conversations 1 Advance Care Planning version 1.0 8/19/ Agenda What is advance care planning? Why is advance care planning important? What are the benefits of early conversation? How to overcome common barriers to having conversation in office setting? Defining written documents used in advance care planning. 3 1
11 3/7/2016 Advance Care Planning Physician/Patient/Family Conversation Educates on diagnosis/prognosis Explores patient/family concerns; encourages openended questions Explores patient s dreams/hopes for future Defines goals for care and links goals to care plan; identifies care issues re: benefit vs. burden for patient 4 Benefits of Early Conversation Builds trust and teamwork between patient and physician Uncertainty and anxiety is reduced Avoids future confusion and conflict Provides peace of mind for patient, family and care providers 5 Myths About Advance Directivs It is not appropriate to begin advance directive planning on an outpatient basis. ~ patients want their doctors to discuss advance care planning with them before they become ill. ~ positive response from patients when advance directive discussions are held during outpatient visits. 6 2
12 3/7/2016 Myths About Advance Directives Overcoming this barrier: Do you know what an advance directive is? Do you have one? If you are afraid the patient may respond negatively, perhaps saying to you Is there something wrong with me? Am I sicker than you are letting on? Respond by saying, I ask all of my patients this question, sick or well: the best time to start thinking about this is before something serious occurs. 7 Myths About Advance Directives Patient Self Determination Act of 1991 mandates that every person be asked about advance directives when seen (inpatient and outpatient) The requirements of the PSDA are as follows: Patients are given written notice upon admission to the health care facility of their decisionmaking rights, and policies regarding advance health care directives in their state and in the institution to which they have been admitted. Patient rights include: The right to facilitate their own health care decisions The right to accept or refuse medical treatment The right to make an advance health care directive Facilities must inquire as to whether the patient already has an advance health care directive, and make note of this in their medical records. Facilities must provide education to their staff and affiliates about advance health care directives. Health care providers are not allowed to discriminately admit or treat patients based on whether or not they have an advance health care directive. 8 Myths About Advance Directivs If I have a financial power of attorney, I don t need a separate medical power of attorney. Not always True. Most often these are separate legal documents. Overcoming this barrier: When discussing Power of Attorney with your patient, assess his/her understanding. Have literature in your office to clear up discrepancies. 9 3
13 3/7/2016 Myths About Advance Directivs Physicians and patients feel that having an advance directive means "don't treat. ~ advance directives can be a trigger for disengagement by medical staff. ~ Conversely, some patients will think having an advance directive means they already have a do not resuscitate order when in fact a living will alone is not sufficient to ensure DNR status. 10 Myths About Advance Directivs Physicians and patients feel that having an advance directive means "don't treat. Overcoming this barrier: ~ Make sure your patient and staff understand that advance directives don t mean "don't treat me". ~ They mean, "treat me the way I want to be treated. For patients who want a do not resuscitate order, completion of a POLST (or your state s equivalent) is indicated. 11 Myths About Advance Directivs Patients often fear that once a person names a proxy in an advance directive they lose control of their own care. Overcoming this barrier: ~ explain to your patients make sure they understand that as long as they retain decision making capacity they retain control of their medical destiny. ~ Advance directives only become active when a person cannot speak for him or herself. 12 4
14 3/7/2016 Myths About Advance Directivs Only old people need advance directives Overcoming this barrier: The stakes may actually be higher for younger people if tragedy strikes. Use the example of the Terry Schiavocase as a trigger to enlighten the discussion. Ask What would you want if you were in her situation? 13 Myths About Advance Directivs Many people believe (hope) that having an advance directive will save their family from difficult decisions. ~ Surrogate decision makers often find that role troubling and even traumatizing, even withadvance directive documents. ~ Encourage patients, especially ones with serious medical illnesses, to discuss with their loved ones what they want and would not want, e.g., when is enough is enough, give permission to their loved ones to not prolong the dying process, 14 Myths About Advance Directivs Many people believe (hope) that having an advance directive will save their family from difficult decisions. ~ As a patient s medical provider, you yourself should be asking your patients with serious/advanced medical conditions these questions as well, to be better equipped to advocate for an appropriate plan of care when the patient is dying.
