"Communication Case Studies for Health Care Professionals, Second Edition: An Applied Approach"
English | ISBN: 0826125174 | 2015 | 440 pages

" allows students and faculty to explore real-life health communication behaviors through role-playing, interactive exercises, and examples easily adapted for use in many situations, sensitivity and diversity training very worthwhile book for every medical faculty member working to instill professionalism in students."

-Vincent Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

The importance of good communication between health professionals and patients has been well documented. Not only does it foster patient satisfaction, it can have a profound effect on health outcomes. This casebook/workbook helps students, faculty, and health care providers to assess and practice key interpersonal and health communication skills. It presents 45 communication scenarios for students to critique and rewrite in order to enhance the interpersonal relationships of participants. The second edition builds on the first with the addition of 11 new cases and theoretical discussions of interpersonal, gender, intercultural, organizational, and media communication. Additionally, the new edition analyzes each scenario in detail to facilitate broader use by an interprofessional team and expand awareness of the specific skills needed by each health care professional. The new Take-Away Considerations feature at the end of each case study reinforces an understanding of the elements of effective communication.

With an eye to time management, each chapter includes effective and ineffective examples of interpersonal communication and interpersonal relationship building. Cases follow the same format including theoretical underpinnings of a particular skill or set of communication skills, an overview of key topics, initial interaction (for role play or analysis), discussion questions (with space for answers), interactive activities and an alternate interaction highlighting more effective communication behaviors, follow-up discussion, key points, and Take-Away Considerations. Scenarios can be used for role play and follow-up discussion in the classroom, for small group work, or individually, as well as in the simulation center and for interprofessional education courses.

NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION:
Includes theoretical introductions to interpersonal, gender, intercultural, organizational, and media communication
Presents 11 new case studies
Provides an introduction for each case study
Describes the application of communication theory for more effective use in the classroom, simulation center, or professional setting

Interpreting Health Benefits and Risks: A Practical Guide to Facilitate Doctor-Patient Communication
Springer | Practice Management & Reimbursement | 2014 | ISBN-10: 331911543X | 236 pages



This timely guide to communication in patient-centered medicine argues for greater clarity in explaining health risks versus benefits of an array of screening tests, procedures, and drug regimens. It reviews the growing trend toward patients' involvement in their own care, particularly in terms of chronic conditions, and details approaches physicians can use to prepare patients (and themselves) for collaborative decision-making based on informed choices and clear, meaningful knowledge. Chapters apply this lens to a wide range of common interventions as contentious as estrogen replacement therapy and antibiotics, and as widely prescribed as the daily aspirin and the annual physical. With this goal in mind, the authors also introduce an innovative decision-making tool that translates risks and benefits into a clear graphic format for fewer chances of miscommunication or misunderstanding.

Among the topics covered:

Involving the patient in decision making.
Towards a universal decision aid.
BRCT: the Benefit/Risk Characterization Theater.
Breast Cancer Screening—Mammograms.
Prostate Cancer Screening.
Colon cancer screening with colonoscopy.
Screening for and treating dementia.
Statins, cholesterol, and coronary heart disease.
Physicians in family and internal medicine will find Interpreting Health Benefits and Risks: A Practical Guide to Facilitate Doctor- Patient Communication a valuable resource for communicating with patients and new possibilities for working toward their better health and health education.

This book considers several common and important situations where faulty decision-making makes overtreatment a serious risk. Clear, fair, referenced, and useful information is provided. And a powerful intuitive technique is introduced which allows patient and doctor to talk as equals as they work together in the exam room. The authors emphasize that some patients who have been fully educated will still accept high risks of harm for a small chance of avoiding premature death. But as this book is accepted and its ideas and technique are extended, I feel sure that net harm to patients will be curtailed. And what is more, the integrity of the decision-making process will be improved.
