Patient Behavior Change: Building Blocks for Success

April 04, 2018

Overview

If only the patient would take the prescribed medication, eat nutritious foods, lose weight, quit smoking – the list is lengthy. Many health problems, including some chronic diseases, result from intractable human behavior. Rather than blame patient non-compliance, however, health care providers have come to recognize behavior change as a complex challenge that involves not just the patient, but also clinicians and communities.

Agenda

Session 1: Creating Behavior Change: How Clinicians Should Engage Patients

Session 2: Scaling Behavior Change: Community-Based Strategies
