  8. THE AIDETSM BEHAVIORS 8

  9. Acknowledge Create the impression that you are really glad to see them and anyone with them. Smile Eye Contact Greet: “Hello”, “Good afternoon”, etc.

  10. Acknowledge Some tips… • Address the patient/member by name if possible. • Mr. Garcia, it is nice to see you again. • We’re ready for you, Ms. Evans. • If you don’t know their name or how to pronounce their name… ask politely. • Acknowledge everyone who is accompanying the person.

  11. Acknowledge An Example…for a medical assistant “Hello, Mr. Jones[shaking hand]. If you already know them: I’m glad to see you again. It’s been 6 months since you were last here. If you don’t know them: Nice to meet you. I am sorry to hear you have a nagging cough. If anyone is with them: And who is this with you? [get names of those with and shake hands].Well, Ms. Jones, I am glad you could make it in with Jim today. It is good to see he has you to come along with him.”

I have over 3 years experience and do thousands of blood draws each year. I am going to take excellent care of you.” What can you say to help build trust and confidence in your abilities?

  17. Duration Give the member/patient a time expectation How long before follow up? How long before the doctor comes in to see them? If there is a wait time, give time expectation of that wait

  18. Duration Some tips… Give duration estimates for all possible timeframes: - Wait Times: When can I expect to feel better? When will this go away? - Procedures: How long will the test or procedure take? - Business Processes: How long will it take for the specialist to see me? - Results: How long will it take to get the results?

  19. Explain Keep the member/patient informed by explaining all tasks, processes, and procedures Avoid medical jargon Assist member/patient to have clear expectations of what will be occurring and when

  20. Explain Some tips… • Narrate the care as you are providing it. Highlight the value for the patient. • - For your safety, I am now going to…because…. • - I will need you to… because…..for your comfort. • - What will happen and what you should expect?

  21. Thank Thank the member/patient for their time, patience (if had to wait), or for choosing Kaiser Permanente Ask if there is anything else that you can do for the member before ending the interaction

  22. Thank Some tips… Be specific about why you were glad to partner with them: - I really appreciated you being so clear about your symptoms. - It is great to have you so engaged and willing to get this back on course. - Thank you for bringing in those over the counter pill bottles. That helped. - I look forward to working with you to get you back to work.
