5 And the research says… Between 30-80 % of patients' expectations are not met in routine primary care visits Providers often give patients less than 30 seconds to express their concerns Providers tend not to involve patients in decision making and, in general, rarely express empathy Patients forget ≥50% of providers‘ recommendations Differences in agendas and expectations are often not reconciled 5 Source : Epstein et al.

6 Collaborative Agenda Setting 1. Orient patient: “I know you’re here to discuss the next steps related to your recent hospitalization. I’m sorry this happened to you; it must be scary. Are there other concerns to address while we’re here today.” 2. Mindfulness cue: Remind yourself that you may not be able to cover all in one visit. 3. Make a list: “What concerns do you have today? Is there something else? Sure?” (Pause. Allow the patient to tell pieces of their story without interruption.) 6

7 Collaborative Agenda Setting 4. Mindfulness cue : Can I address all concerns today? When else might we address them? 5. Confirm what is most important to the patient: “We may not have time to discuss all your concerns today. Is talking about your meds the most important thing to you? ” 6. Express concerns about what must be covered. “We need to discuss your Florida trip next week— and also your treatment and meds for the next few months. If we can’t get to all of the items today, we’ll set up another time.” 7

8 And the research says… 1984, Beckman and Frankel Patients interrupted after 18 seconds 1999, Marvel (used Beckman methodology) Patients interrupted after 23 seconds 2001, Rhoades Patients interrupted after 12 seconds 2002, Langewitz 78% of complete story in ≤2 minutes if uninterrupted 2005, Dyche (used Beckman methodology) Patients interrupted after 16.5 seconds 2013, Solvoll Patients also interrupted by physician’s mobile devices! 8

9 And the research says… 1984, Beckman and Frankel Patients interrupted after 18 seconds 1999, Marvel (used Beckman methodology) Patients interrupted after 23 seconds 2001, Rhoades Patients interrupted after 12 seconds 2002, Langewitz 78% complete story in ≤2 min if uninterrupted 2005, Dyche (used Beckman methodology) Patients interrupted after 16.5 seconds 2013, Solvoll Patients now also interrupted by physician’s cell phone! 9

10 Some Reactions Is this process an invitation for a long list? No! Patient doesn’t expect to cover every concern raised Technique helps uncover patient's real agenda Expectations can be kindly and gently re-oriented “In our time allotted today, I’d like to cover the most important items. That way, I’ll be confident that we’ve dealt with them completely and that you understand them fully. I’m concerned about these other items. Would you consider another appointment in the near future to cover them?” 10 Olson, 2002

11 Personal Action Plan Change I want to make happen is… Goal for the next month is… Specific steps I will take to achieve my goal are… Challenges in achieving my goal are… Plans to overcome these challenges are… Support I need to achieve my goals are… Confidence I can achieve my goal is… Source: http://www.swselfmanagement.ca/smtoolkit/SMTK-manual/ 11

12 Teach Back, Show Back, Inquiry 40-80% of the medical information patients receive is forgotten immediately. Kessels RP. Patients’ Memory for Medical Information. J R Soc Med. May 2003; 6(5):219-22 12

13 Teach Back or Show Back “I want to be sure that I explained your medication correctly. Can you tell me how you are going to take this medicine?” 13

14 Teach Back or Show Back “I want to be sure that I explained your medication correctly. Can you tell me how you are going to take this medicine?” “Can you show me how you will keep track of your medications when you get home?” 14

15 Teach Back or Show Back “We covered a lot today about your INR, and I want to make sure that I explained things clearly. So let’s review what we discussed. What are three foods you will want to be careful of when taking warfarin?” 15

16 Inquire Often! Developing a collaborative action plan On a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being the most important, how important is this to you? On a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being the most likely, how likely are you going to do this? What do you want to do now? 16

17 Lastly...Assume Good Intent Note found in my medical record: <Gave instructions to patient’s husband, he will have her comply (name) 12/14/2011 8:03:46 AM> 17

18 Challenging Common Assumptions Noncompliance Not valid construct for understanding patient behavior Patient is not always the source of the problem! Solution to noncompliance Changing behavior Changing systems 18 Source: Anderson, Robert; Patient empowerment: reflections on the challenge of fostering the adoption of a new paradigm.
