HCR's Training and Education Programs

Research shows that poor communication is often the reason an adverse medical event turns into a claim. HCR offers a number of training and education programs designed to help physicians, hospital staff and clinical personnel to improve their communications skills and better manage difficult conversations and the emotions that come with them. Some programs for physicians are designed specifically to provide CME credits in risk management and patient safety, as now required for physicians licensed in Pennsylvania.

Education programs feature conflict management experts, mediators and clinical communication experts, all highly trained and experienced in their fields. Sessions are offered for both large and small groups, from one-on-one coaching for difficult conversations to large group seminars.

Training programs are customized to meet the particular needs and goals of each client and can be conducted on- or off-site. Training groups can include health care facility clinical and administrative staff, physicians and physician's office staff. A large part of the training is role playing, with highly trained instructors using this technique to transform difficult-to-pinpoint concepts into concrete and practical tools. Topics include early intervention, conflict management, adverse event disclosure and effective communication with patients and their families.
