Advancing Best Practice in Health Coaching and Care Management
Health Coaching in the clinical setting is commonly paired with smart care management strategies. They go hand in hand. Coaching skills help uncover patient motivations and challenges, bringing patient goals and perspectives to the plan of care. However, integrating health coaching with care management is often inconsistent — not fully understood by the entire care team. Communicating patient preferences, goals and barriers is foundational to co-creating a care plan that actively engages patients and inspires full care team support. More than ever, the communications skills AND role of the health coach/care manager influence the effectiveness of chronic care, and patient health outcomes.
Advancing Best Practice in Health Coaching and Care Management targets those who have completed either Clinical Health Coach® Fusion or v-Fusion. It expands upon the foundational skills of motivational interviewing and provides a roadmap to creating a sustainable care management model. It builds performance capacity.
Advancing Best Practice in Health Coaching and Care Management is a 7-week course, with weekly 90-minute virtual classes and intimate small group health coaching skills practice sessions. Virtual classes will include a mix of didactic and practice activities. All sessions are facilitated by experienced training faculty.
* Participants must have completed Clinical Health Coach® Fusion, v-Fusion or a certificate-based training in motivational interviewing prior to enrolling in this next-level training.
