Dealing with the Challenging PatientSM
A Dialysis Staff Training Program
Excerpt from the Manager’s Segment:
As a manager or supervisor, you have the responsibility of properly managing the challenging patient situation. It is not an easy job. It may be frustrating and confusing.
However, it is important that you, as a manager, keep things in perspective so you can maintain clarity and balance.
You must clearly understand the nature of our relationship with the patient. And, the legal exposure which can result from failing to act in a reasonable manner.
The manager’s or supervisor's role and responsibilities are not easy ones. Remember that your employees will follow your lead. Therefore it is important to monitor your own attitude and actions.
Excerpt from the Employee’s Segment:
The question that I hear most often from dialysis staff members is "What can we do about those difficult patients?" I think that people are looking for simple, quick and easy answers. Unfortunately there is no "quick fix method." There are many causes and considerations that play into and create that difficult situation. Our role and responsibility is to attempt to determine the real problems and what can be done about them.
Includes guidelines for the following topics:
- Reasons and contributing factors for challenging patients
- Steps for dealing with the challenging and abusive patient
- Developing a plan of action
- Documentation of action taken
The focus of this multi-media training program is to provide participants with tools for dealing with the challenging patient. It also provides insights as to why a patient may be disruptive, and what can be done to reduce or eliminate disruptive behavior.
