As with many medical interventions, health outcomes often depend on the patient’s ability to change their behavior. Quitting tobacco is one of the hardest addictions to overcome, but one that can greatly improve a patient’s health and quality of life. Ensure you and your staff know what to say to motivate your patients to make a quit attempt with a few simple techniques.
Topics covered include: Motivational Interviewing techniques, pharmacotherapy, 5 A's protocol, office systems, coding information and resources for your patients.
Encourage your staff to attend this session to help your patients take the next step in quitting! Many of the techniques can be used to motivate patients on various topics. You can download a flyer here.
Register here! 4.2 CEU's for $12! (available for RN, LPN & LMHTs)
