House Call: A Medbridge Podcast

House Call Episode 1: Assessing Patient Readiness to Change


Listen Later

It is important for clinicians to understand patients’ readiness for change. In this course, we explore the ways to assess a patient’s readiness to change during a home health visit. Understanding when a patient is in the precontemplation stage of change and is not ready to change allows the clinician to gain insight into a patient’s motivational level and potential barriers for positive health behavior changes.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, learners should be able to

  • Identify precontemplation stage of change
  • Demonstrate strategies to support a patient who is not ready to change
  • Outline the process for moving from precontemplation to contemplation stage of change
