Course Description

How Subjective is Your Communication? Clinical Communication and Relationships at the End of Life

Effective communication in healthcare organizations positively affects many aspects of the system and its stakeholders.  It allows patients to feel respected and safe to openly communicate their beliefs, fears, and questions in order to receive effective treatment, especially at the end of life.  This course will examine how advance care planning is the first line of communication between all stakeholders and barriers to effective communication in healthcare settings, how to  maximize limited time to build trust and relationships with all stakeholders, and how to use  effective communication techniques so that optimum care is provided at the end of life.  Attendees will assess their individual and organizational communication styles/beliefs/biases in efforts to enhance and increase their community approval ratings.  Various communication techniques and the role of end-of-life doulas will be shared as resources to bridge limited time restraints in healthcare settings between stakeholders so that communication efforts and optimum care are maximized.

  • Identify their individual communication style
