Lesson Plan

Modern Patient Education introduces participants to some of the so-called “soft skills” of patient engagement as well as other aspects of treatment that can make for a more comprehensive treatment experience. Topics addressed include evidence based practice, modern pain science education, diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness meditation, general exercise principles, sleep, and nutrition.

Objectives:

  • Discuss the strengths and challenges of evidence-based practice
  • Describe what the evidence demonstrates that people want out of a healthcare encounter
  • Interpret pain and how to more effectively communicate its complexities to patients
  • Recognize the power of words and both the negative and positive effects it can have on patient perception of disease and disability
  • Identify sub-optimal breathing patterns and be able to effectively coach patients into improved breathing patterns
  • Describe mindfulness meditation  and how a session might go, and what the evidence is currently demonstrating for benefit for things such as chronic pain and stress
  • Apply general exercise concepts to a wide variety of patients including those living with persistent pain.
  • Discuss why sleep is such an important activity for recovery and both physical and mental/emotional health and what the downsides are to a regular lack of sleep.
  • Reiterate how nutrition can play a role both in tissue healing and pain, and be a significant lifestyle factor in overall health and longevity
