AAL Launches Humanistic Healthcare Initiative for Healthcare Providers
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 01, 2017 -- In an effort to improve clinical outcomes and enhance patient-centered care, the Academy for Academic Leadership (AAL) has launched a new initiative providing Humanistic Healthcare programs and services designed to enhance the relationship between providers and patients. Studies have shown that patient satisfaction, compliance and outcomes can be directly impacted by the care, compassion and empathy that patients receive from their healthcare practitioner. AAL’s Humanistic Healthcare programs are targeted to healthcare administrators and direct care providers, such as physicians, pharmacists, dentists, nurses and allied health professionals.
In 2017, AAL's open-enrollment and customized program offerings include:
• Humanistic Communication
April 25, 2017, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., Atlanta, GA
This half-day workshop is specifically designed to enhance attendees’ skills for both improving patient compliance and satisfaction, and achieving better health outcomes in their organization. The comprehensive and carefully-researched curriculum incorporates strategic communication presentations, group discussions and interactive exercises. Tuition for this program is $395 and the registration deadline is March 24, 2017. To learn more, visit AALgroup.org/humanistic.
• The Power of Empathy in Clinical Practice
Designed to provide participants with an opportunity to engage in a personal and unique conversation about their own relationship to empathy, this program uses conversation, skill-based exercises highlighting the elements of empathic practice, and video presentations for active course engagement. The Power of Empathy workshop is hosted onsite at the participating healthcare facility, providing a convenient option for direct patient care providers to attend.
