Kori Novak – Successful Communication Techniques with Elderly Patients
Description:
- Successfully Communicating with Dementia and Alzheimer’s Patients
- Understanding How Elders Read Body Language
- Communicating with Families…hellooooo HIPAA
- Communicating with Difficult Patients
- Better Communication = Better Outcomes
Communicating with elderly patients can be daunting, even more so when you find you have to repeat yourself because they are hard of hearing or have dementia. Unfortunately, there are many under the misconception that when communicating with elderly patients, louder means better, and that a nod means, “uh huh, I understand.” With a rapidly increasing elderly population, there is an escalating need for healthcare professionals to learn how to effectively communicate with these patients. It isn’t just about being louder or clearer, but HOW we communicate with these generations that makes communication successful…or not.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn tricks and tips from a Gerontologist who has “heard” it all from her patients. Leave understanding how to create happier, healthier, more informed elderly patients without blowing out their ear drums. Happier patients equal more compliant patients, better health outcomes for them and improved patient and family satisfaction scores for you.
