Class:
Effective Self-Management Support

With David Spero, RN, BSN

For health professionals, system administrators and planners, and anyone who wants to do a better job of helping patients help themselves.

Description:

In chronic conditions, patient outcomes and utilization depend primarily on their ability to care for themselves. If self-management is poor, costs will soar and patients will suffer. Health care systems can build patients’ self-care capacity or impair it. Systems and practices often need to change to support self-management, and the result is greater satisfaction and better results for staff and patients alike. Learn strategies for effective self-management support including:

  • Building self-confidence (self-efficacy) to make personal changes
  • Including families in all aspects of care
  • Communicating more effectively to get on the same page with patients
  • Expanding roles of all staff, using volunteers and other patients to support self-management
  • Allying with communities to promote wellness and support patients
  • Basics of useful system changes to support self-management

 

Format:

Given as single presentations or ongoing workshops

 

Based on the work of New Health Partnerships: Improving Care by Engaging Patients, a project of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. David is one of the project’s directors.
