HEART Coaching - November 2024
Activity description
These materials are only intended for those that have participated in HEART Coaching. Credit should be claimed after completing the coaching process.
Licensed practitioners who conduct telephone-based outreach with patients require enhanced engagement skills to effectively manage these interactions. The application of HEART skills plays a pivotal role in improving the practitioner’s ability to foster positive member interactions that facilitate patient-centered communication, maintain a focus on continuity of care and improve patients’ quality of life. Monthly HEART coaching sessions are essential to ensure the hands-on utilization of these skills in practical scenarios. These activity sessions aim to enhance competency and demonstrate mastery of HEART skills, as evidenced by a comprehensive retrospective review and evaluation of call and case documentation, self-evaluation of HEART skills and debriefing sessions guided by clinical coaches.

In accordance with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education's (ACCME) Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, Optum Health Education (OHE) requires all those in control of educational content to disclose their financial relationships with ineligible companies within the prior 24 months. Ineligible companies are defined by the ACCME as companies whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing health care products used by or on patients. Individuals must disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies and regardless of their view of the relevance of the relationship to the education. OHE ensures that the content is independent of commercial bias.
The activity faculty and planners have no financial relationships to disclose.

CA: The Board of Behavioral Sciences has deferred CE course approvals to APA and ASWB for its licensees. See those approvals under Psychologists and Social Workers.
