Better Physician-Patient Communication for Better Patient Outcomes
Presenters, Read Me First!
Talking Tools I is an hour-long interactive presentation kit aimed at helping to raise physicians’ awareness about the importance of patient-physician communication. It is designed to be delivered by a single presenter to groups of practising physicians. While the kit uses the example of breast cancer to demonstrate the importance of good patient-physician communication, it can be used by physicians working in any medical specialty. The presentation is divided into four major components in which presenters give a brief overview of the issues and background related to the initiative, show a short video, lead the group in a role play and discussion sessions based on the video, and summarize the presentation’s goals and findings. Included in the kit are a video, a presenter’s guide and supporting overhead transparencies, and participant handouts. Presenters will require a VCR and monitor, as well as an overhead projector. Presenters do not require formal training or expertise in communications — a few hours of preparation, enthusiasm and commitment are the main ingredients for success. Questions?
