SHCA is pleased to offer "NO EXCUSES", our first telephone conference for 2002. Customer service professionals in high customer-contact positions who want to recover from customer service breakdowns between customers and co-workers, this session is for you! Cathy Stouffer, Patient Advocate at The Monroe Clinic is our presenter. Cathy will assist participants in identifying and assessing your people network; in enhancing your mode of communication; demonstrating active listening skills; identifying characteristics of constructive feedback; and encouraging constructive feedback.

And the best part is you can hear Cathy from the privacy of your office--traveling required. Members pay one low fee and can invite as other hospital personnel to join. Coordinate the conference with other departments with direct patient contact--volunteers, food service, nursing, etc., and pay only one low site fee

Customer service professionals in high customer-contact positions, who want to recover from customer service breakdowns between customers and co-workers, this session is for you!

Cathy Stouffer will assist participants in the following areas:

  • identifying and assessing your people network
  • in enhancing your mode of communication
  • demonstrating active listening skills
  • identifying characteristics of constructive feedback
  • encouraging constructive feedback
Due to all the financial and manpower constraints in healthcare, Cathy Stouffer believes that we must be serious about providing patients with the tools they need to make safe medical decisions. To do so, we need to educate staff to assist patients through the health care maze. With the information shared with you during this conference, you will be able to offer your co-workers the skills needed to be good advocates and assist your patients in being better healthcare consumers.

Who should attend?
Any employee who has direct patient care and is involved in total patient satisfaction.

Why a Telephone Seminar?
Convenient and time saving. No travel time and expenses at all! Just call in from your office or anywhere there is a touch-tone phone to hear and participate in this important seminar. With site pricing (see tuition information), you can invite other listeners to your office--save money and discuss these important issues.

Interactive and fast-paced. The speaker’s interaction with you, the listener, will make this program enjoyable and you can ask questions from wherever you are. (Touch-tone phone required.)
