"Thanks
again for your help!!!
It is a benefit to our
organization, Dr.
[Name], and our
staff. I am grateful for your interest
in assisting us. Your involvement has been very valuable.
I still think you should present a talk to the Medical Group
Management Association (MGMA national conference) on dealing with the
difficult physician (or maybe it’s the dysfunctional administrator that
works with the physicians). It would be a packed room because all of us
in medical practice management (and hospital administration) face very
similar situations to this one."
-- CMPE and COO
"Very well received. I think
he clearly layed [sic] out a real plan of action that we can use when we
are faced with a difficult/unreasonable doctor situation. He was
great. Where did you find him?" -- Gulf Coast MGMA

Physician/Patient Communications
Do you know the #1 reason patients choose a medical practice or hospital?
Years ago, consulting to a Florida hospital group, we found the main reason
patients chose a hospital (in 3 of 4 hospitals surveyed) was they wanted to be
"treated as people not as illnesses."
Dr. Colt specializes in teaching
physicians patient-centered communications skills, the #1 reason patients choose
a hospital or medical practice.
Using
experiential techniques of communications skills training, we help medical
practices maximize their bottom lines by cultivating:
-
Patient-centered communication/listening and collaborative decision making
-
Compassionate treatment of patients, and respect for their privacy and
dignity
-
Ability to convey empathy and a sense of concern for all patients
-
Ability to elicit from patients the values, ideas and feelings which
influence the patient/physician relationship and which impact treatment
decisions
-
Ability to effectively communicate medical information with patients

for Dr. Colt's personal integrity and a genuine liking of him as a person.
His sense of humor, down to earth manner of relating, his sensitivity, and
his genuine interest in others were all much appreciated, not just by [us]
but by his co-workers and colleagues as well." -- VA
