Applying Motivational Interviewing to End-of-Life Care Challenges

If patients and families were to read their charts, would they recognize their plans? Would they say, “Yes, these are our goals, and we are clear about the work needed to get there”? It’s time to abandon the rut of assuming clients are noncompliant. The problem isn’t them; it’s us! Instead of trying to get people to comply with plans created for them, plans need to be created that people are motivated to achieve – their plans. This webinar will explore motivational interviewing skills and techniques by applying them to classic challenging end-of-life care situations. (Incidentally, motivational interviewing techniques can also be instrumental in our personal lives.)

This informative session is designed for all members of the interdisciplinary care team, organizational leadership, managers, and human resources staff.
