Let's Talk Mind Hygiene™

Keynote
Enhanced Mindful Communication with Empathy through Mind Hygiene™

Abstract
Imagine you’re a nervous patient, sitting anxiously in a packed waiting room desiring the need to be heard, spoken to with compassion, and have your provider listening “all ears” empathetically. Unfortunately, by the end of your appointment, your experience has been unsatisfactory. You felt judged because you live with substance overuse and bipolar.

As busy healthcare providers, we need to communicate empathetically with ourselves. If we don’t, this leads to mindless and unempathetic behaviors, ultimately translating into burnout and weak patient experience ratings.

The ugly truth is ineffective communication is the root cause of patient dissatisfaction, increased stress for healthcare providers, and low morale in a clinical work setting. The good news? There's a better way.

By the end of your time with Dhruva, you can fast-track your way to communicate with empathy in less than seven days by practicing simple Mind HygieneTM techniques with yourself, and your patients.
