WEBINAR DETAILS
Motivational interviewing
(MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach to creating person-centered
goals and plans. So often we develop great looking plans of care but forget
that patients and families have not yet caught up with us and are not ready to
achieve the goals we set for them. MI focuses on exploring and resolving the
ambivalence that naturally occurs in the end-of-life care setting. In this
webinar we will take a deep dive into the principles and application of MI to
hospice.
