Breaking Bad News Training for Healthcare Professionals
The official Breaking Bad News Program is designed, developed and delivered by Dr. Anthony Orsini.
After a defining personal experience, Dr. Orsini has spent 20 years developing and crafting the training techniques used in the Breaking Bad News® program. Many participants consider the experience “life-changing” and have a significant improvement in their confidence and decreased anxiety when performing this difficult task.
The Problem:
Only 10% of senior physicians report any formal training on how to effectively break bad news to a patient or family member.
Outdated education models leave our healthcare workers woefully ill-prepared for navigating and handling these emotional, tense and time sensitive conversations.
Breaking Bad News, The Orsini Way Solution:
We have developed Breaking Bad News as a unique, evidence-based framework, set of tools, educational programming and support that provides your organization with the communication skills and capabilities that are demanded in today’s complex and fast-moving healthcare environments.
Why Our Breaking Bad News Training and Expertise is Unique:
- Workshops and Training delivered by experts in the field
- Role-playing exercises to build and practice the new communication abilities
- Immediate feedback and support from our trained instructors
The Impact of Implementing Breaking Bad News
Improved patient trust, staff confidence, and reduced litigation risk.
Studies have shown that how patients hear bad news can affect them for decades, yet most physicians have never been trained properly. In fact, physicians associate the act of Breaking Bad News to patients and families with fear and anxiety.
The Breaking Bad News® program teaches proven communication methods that help physicians deliver the news in the most effective and compassionate manner.
