Attendees will be presented with a model of patient care that contrasts with traditional models by focusing on factors that patients can affect as they self-manage their chronic conditions. This partnership model draws on common behavior change theories to motivate patients. Health coaching interventions, specifically motivational interviewing, have been shown to improve patient outcomes and lead to better coordinated care.
