Communicating After Harm Events: Applying Learnings to Real-Life Scenarios

When a harm event occurs in a health care setting, all those affected need to receive immediate, accurate and empathetic communication from the care team. Clinicians and care teams must be ready to communicate in the crucial moments after an event and then in follow-up conversations over days, weeks or even months. This webinar will discuss best practices, provide coaching tools and share learnings from real-life communications following a harm event.

Objectives:

  1. Learn best practices for early, open and empathetic communication with patients, senior living residents and their families following a harm event.
  2. Identify key elements of effective communication after a harm event, including the ongoing process of follow-up communication, and how to respond to patient, resident or family emotional reactions.
  3. Access tools to prepare and coach clinicians and care teams to communicate empathetically after a harm event.
