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.
