Central to this is the quality of clinician–patient communication, which determines how responsibility is shared. Health coaching training for clinicians provides them with new mindsets, communication skills and behaviour change techniques that transform the clinician–patient relationship and enables patients to become more active participants in their care. This training improves patient experience and health behaviours, provides self-management support and can reduce demand and costs. This article describes the East of England health coaching training programme and provides an overview of the evidence, required competencies and challenges clinicians experience when putting health coaching into practice. It illustrates that health coaching is a mechanism to deliver person-centred care. More must be done to provide clinicians with these much-needed skills especially in the management of long-term conditions.","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"3 2","pages":"147-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6465819/pdf/futurehosp-3-2-147.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37246550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the pressures on UK emergency departments (ED) combined with the rising numbers of frail older adults presenting as emergencies, we hypothesised that it would be possible for our MDH to be used to provide multidisciplinary ambulatory care for a subset of older patients presenting to ED. With adequate resources, this could potentially provide comprehensive geriatric assessment in an older-friendly environment with the additional benefit of improved flow within the ED. This paper discusses outcomes for the first 100 patients transferred from the ED to be assessed and managed within the MDH instead. Clinical judgement was used to select older patients who were likely to be able to go home the same day after assessment and multidisciplinary input within the MDH. As expected with a highly selected cohort, of the 100 patients transferred, 92% were discharged, noting that medical admission had already been planned for 31% of these patients prior to the involvement of the geriatrician. In conclusion, it is feasible for a cohort of older patients presenting to the ED to be managed within the MDH instead with additional potential for reducing avoidable admissions.</p>","PeriodicalId":92635,"journal":{"name":"Future hospital journal","volume":"3 2","pages":"106-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6465821/pdf/futurehosp-3-2-106.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37250659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
