Training Program Description
Most patient complaints have nothing to do with medical issues. Most complaints are about non-medical treatment, such as thoroughness of information provided and how well the healthcare providers listened to the patient's concerns. This program shows healthcare workers how to make patients feel welcome--so they won't seek care elsewhere.
Filled with customer service tips your staff can put to use immediately, this video program does more than just teach specific skills, it provides your team with a vision of what your facility can be.
Comprised of seven mini-episodes, the program depicts a day-in-the-life of a patient, beginning with her admission and continuing right on through to her discharge. At each stage, viewers first see somewhat lackluster interactions followed by actively caring ones -- a juxtaposition that neatly drives home what an enormous difference a shift in focus can mean to patient and staff alike.
Healthcare employees and professionals will learn to:
- Avoid jargon and give patients the information to make informed decisions
- Ease patient's anxiety by taking ample time to explain information
- Solicit patients' problems so you can correct them
- Respect the patient's privacy
- Safeguard patient confidentiality and avoid comments they can overhear
- Practice service recovery by listening, apologizing and resolving problems
