Take home message

  • Start with the patient’s agenda.
  • Track the emotion data as well as the cognitive data.
  • Move the conversation forward one step at a time
  • Make your empathy visible (and audible).
  • Clarify what you can do first–before you talk about what you can’t do.
  • Agree on ‘big picture’ goals before specific medical interventions.
  • Give your complete, undivided attention to your patient for key moments.
Practitioner points
  • To know some basic communication algorithms and principles is neccessary to have a map where you can go with your patients. Do not don't just rely on your experience.
