Description of CME Course
What does it mean to treat patients and families with dignity and respect? It means that health care providers listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices. Providers incorporate patient and family knowledge, values, beliefs, and cultural background into the planning and delivery of care. Providers anticipate patient and family needs, and meet those needs in a clean, safe environment. The health care team provides emotional support to patients and families, and strives to alleviate their fear and anxiety. How can providers accomplish all of this? By learning and then practicing the specific skills described and illustrated in this course.
