ForwardRecorded SDOH Screening and Referral Communication
Research has shown that practitioners trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI) have greater confidence in talking with individuals about new topics and greater satisfaction with worklife due to increased success in helping facilitate an individual's decision-making for behavior change. This presentation will provide a brief summary of key MI skills and approach, along with example dialogs to illustrate MI-consistent and MI-inconsistent applications in the SDOH screening and referral contexts. In addition, example conversation starters will be provided and an active learning activity that engages role play of conversation starters for screeening and for referral will be engaged to help increase confidence in participants for having these conversations in practice.
This program was funded by a grant provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, No. 1NU58DP007399-01-00 - A Strategic Approach to Advancing Health Equity for Priority Populations with or at Risk for Diabetes, under a subcontract with the Alabama Department of Public Health.
Target Audience
This knowledge-based program is intended for Pharmacists (ACPE), Pharmacy Technicians (ACPE), Physicians (ACCME), Physician Assistants (ACCME), Nurse Practitioners (ABN), and Nurses (ABN).
Learning Objectives
1) Identify differences in the righting reflex and the person-centered Spirit of MI in communication examples.
2) Recognize MI-consistent and MI-inconsistent dialog examples.
3) Apply MI-consistent conversation starters in a role play with a partner for the contexts of SDOH screening and referral to resources that can help address SDOH for that individual.
