Let’s face it: simply telling our patients what they should do is not always enough to motivate them to change.  If it was, everyone would being getting much better results, patient recovery time would improve, healthcare costs would come down, and hospital stays would be reduced.  Unfortunately, this is not the reality, and, often, hard-line approaches to encourage patient change may sabotage the results leading to patient shut-downs.

In order to achieve better results, RDNs can make simple changes that are easy to implement.  Start by using tried and true techniques such as smart goals, motivational interviewing, coaching, stages of changes, along with different verbiage and body language.  Couple these with other techniques to customize your messages for each of your patients using better listening skills even when time constraints are tight.  In this practical webinar, Marlisa Brown, MS, RD, CDE, CDN, will share actionable skills to help you to motivate your patients to overcome their roadblocks and achieve better compliance and long term success.

The live version of this webinar was presented on Wednesday, August 8th, 2018 from 2-3pm ET by Marlisa Brown, MS, RD, CDE, CDN. This recorded version is approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
