In a primary care practice, a Health Coach transforms the patient experience and the clinical outcomes.
A strong collaboration between a skilled physician and a well-trained Health Coach supports lasting behavior change and has a profound impact on patients’ health and wellbeing.
Here is how health coaches help doctors facilitate change in Primary Care.
Health Coaches provide ongoing day-to-day support and guidance for which most physicians have neither the time nor the training.
Health Coaches use motivational strategies, behavior change theory, and communication techniques to help patients create long-term behavior changes leading to better health.
Health Coaches provide insight and intelligence on how to adapt and implement dietary and exercise plans for people struggling with specific disorders.
Health Coaches give feed back to the physician as patients make diet and lifestyle changes, while incorporating input and further guidance from the physician.
Ultimately, Health Coaches free up physicians to do what they do best, while closing care gaps, and providing continuing contact with patients as they progress towards healthier lifestyles.
