WEBINAR DETAILS

Managing expectations is a process of helping people know how to be right and when to be satisfied. In hospice, home care, home health, and palliative care settings, patients and their families are often under tremendous stress. Since people may not be at their best, how can unrealistic expectations be managed in a respectful way?

For caregivers, the personal rewards of providing healthcare services are closely linked to the quality of relationships developed with clients and their families. How can you create a positive experience for every client, even when time is limited? Discover the key driver of client satisfaction and how to strategically focus on two things that almost every person wants. Attend this session to learn and appreciate how you make a difference, even in brief relationships.
