2022 Goal Concordant Care and Difficult Conversations ~ Workshop 1 | Physician Training

Duarte, CA US

Most clinicians do not receive detailed and specific training in how to communicate effectively with patients. Critical medical decisions are often made without patients and families fully understanding the medical facts and without the medical team fully appreciating a patient’s goals and values. Shared decision making can address this gap leading to prognostic concordance. Prognostic Concordance is essential in allowing patients to make decisions based on their values. This concordance allows them to make decisions based on a reasonable prognostic expectation that is agreed upon by the patient and the clinician.

Communication is central to the clinician-patient relationship. There are different communication challenges at all phases of the cancer trajectory.  These discussions are typically emotionally charged and overwhelming and require practitioners to develop trust with the patient, identify and respond to patients’ emotions, and sort out when their own emotions interfere with effective communication. 

Target Audience

City of Hope clinicians.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify some key strategies in how to effectively communicate with shared decision making.
  • Apply the SPIKES protocol in delivering difficult news.
  • Document goals of care discussions in electronic health record (EHR) using specialty dot phrases following the new Outpatient Workflow and Documentation process. 
  • Discuss possible barriers and biases which may impact patient care (i.e., race, ethnicity, language, gender identity/orientation, age, socioeconomic status, attitudes, feelings, or other characteristics).
