Agenda • General Communication Skills • Oral Communication Skills (Presentation in class) • Writing & Referencing • Group Interactions • Leadership & Management

Oral Communication Skills • Your voice • How you say it, is as important as what you say • Body language • Your body movements express what your attitudes and thoughts really are • Appearance • First impressions influence the audience's attitudes to you

Oral Communication Skills – Making a Presentation • Human attention is the scarcest resource -- Herbert Simon [Nobel 1972, Turing 1975] • Short-term memory: ~ 7 simple things • Audience may get 1 or 2 from your talk • reinforce the core message, not details • Build a thread to help comprehension

Making a Presentation 1. Strategy • Understand your purpose and role • Tailor your message to the audience • Develop a logically compelling case for your plan 2. Structure • Clear introduction • Use only one idea per slide • Good conclusions slide 3. Style • Keeping your audience's interest 4. Supplement • Use Exemples, Questions, Visual Aids etc

Delivering a Presentation • Greet the audience • “Tell the audience what you are going to tell them, then tell them, at the end tell them what you have told them” -- Zuchermann W. [1979] • Nervousness & Comfort Zone • Humor is very useful; prepare a couple of puns and jokes beforehand • Introduction to the topic & yourself • Begin with a slow, well-prepared introduction

Delivering a Presentation • Speak clearly. Don't shout or whisper - judge the acoustics of the room • Don't rush, or talk deliberately slowly. Be natural - although not conversational. • Deliberately pause at key points • Never read from a script / slide • Keep to the time allowed. If you can, keep it short. • It's better to under-run than over-run

Delivering a Presentation • To make the presentation interesting, change your delivery: • speed • pitch of voice • Use your hands to emphasize points • Look at the audience as much as possible • Don't fix on an individual • Use Illustrations, Graphs, Numbers to explain complex ideas • “A picture is worth 1000 words”

Delivering a Presentation • Strong Conclusion • Questions • Listen very carefully • Repeat the question and make sure you got it right • Answer clearly “Most people answer different questions than asked!”

Presentation: Comm. Mistakes • Facing the display screen behind you and talking to it • Stand in a position where you obscure the screen • Move about too much • Slides are not clear, text too small to read • Too much text on a slide • Inappropriate colors on the slide • Annoying animations, sound effects or pictures • Room Lighting

Writing & Referencing • “Written communication is the ability to communicate effectively in writing with a range of audiences” : • in a variety of modes (e.g., persuasion, argument, exposition) • using a number of different means (e.g., graphical, statistical, audio-visual and technological).

Writing & Referencing • Two objectives of Writing to a reader: • Must convey a clear and unambiguous message • Must produce goodwill • To achieve these two objectives, the writer must write: • Clearly • Coherently • Concisely • Correctly; with • Courtesy; and • Confidence

Writing Background Skills • Written communication requires background skills such as: • academic writing • revision and editing • critical reading • presentation of data

Academic Writing • Writing in order to • analyze a topic closely • develop a point of view in relation to that topic through research and thought • persuade your reader that the point of view you have developed is well supported by the ideas and information you present • Create a clearly structured document that presents an account of what has happened in a practical session or as part of an experiment • Example: an essay, poster, paper or thesis and technical report

Revision and Editing • Applying techniques to improve • Writing • Presentation • Proofreading for • Spelling • Grammar • Style.

Critical Reading • An awareness of • the content of the message • the style and method of communication, • understanding of how the content and method combine to create the meaning of the message • Example: results published in a scientific paper may be given more credibility than results presented at a departmental seminar • Actively listening, reading or viewing information to gain a complete and accurate understanding of the communicated message • Example: extracting specific detail from an academic paper

Presentation of Data • An understanding of the use of • Images • Graphs • Other methods • Example, using appropriate graphing techniques in a scientific report, or well-chosen graphics to convey a concept).

Examples of “Bad Writing” • "Teaching is like a disease; those of you who have it are lucky, you are blessed,”(From the New York Times, Jan 18, 1989) • Dear Fellow Resident: Washington is a city that only cares about one thing: money, power and politics (The Washington Weekly, Oct 3, 2007) • TODAY'S QUESTION: Efforts to make English the official language is gaining strength throughout the U.S. What is your reaction? (N.Y. Daily News) • Word processors are replacing the steno pad and ballpoint for many secretaries. Several thousandare to convene in Kansas City. (Kansas City Times)

Group Interactions - Incentives • “A group is two or more persons who are interacting with one another in such a manner that each person influences and is influenced by each other person” (Shaw M E 1976) “Two heads are better than one” .

Group Interactions - Benefits • Student’s viewpoint, some of the real positives of • tackling a problem in a group include: • finding out someone else’s viewpoint, approach, idea or perspective • spreading the workload amongst the group • combining talents and using people’s particular strengths to the best advantage • helping individuals to discover what they know and what they have yet to discover

Group Interactions - Benefits Educational perspective, working in groups is valued because it: • gives opportunities for students to develop generic skills such as: • Team work • Negotiation • Cooperation • Leadership • promotes collaborative learning • allows a topic to be explored in greater breadth and depth • enables the construction of authentic workplace problems • encourages deep, higher level thinking

Problems in Group Work • Group members not contributing • Very quiet group members • Over-talkative group members • An individual who dominates • People missing meetings • Misinterpreting the task • Getting off task

Interpersonal Skills • Smile • Be appreciative • Pay attention to others • Practice active listening • Bring people together • Resolve conflicts • Communicate clearly • Humor • See it from their side • Don't complain

Ideal Group Roles • Facilitator • Responsible for chairing meetings. • Timekeeper • Makes sure the meeting runs to time. • Recorder/note-taker • Takes and distributes the minutes of the meeting. • Devil’s advocate • Someone who argues against the group’s position, to help determine the validity of that position. • Team player • Gives support to other roles by enthusiastic following.

Leadership & Management • “Leadership is a process of social influence in which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task” --Chemers, M. M. (2002) • “Management is a kind of leadership in which the • achievement of organizational goals is paramount.“-- Zaleznik, A. (1977). • Management involves power by position. • Leadership involves power by influence.

Telling & Selling • A salesperson can’t sell a product to a customer • without information. • The same salesperson won’t sell anything by only • giving the customer product information. • The information must accompany a sales pitch explaining the benefits of the product. • For trainers, the product is knowledge and/or skills.

Guiding and Directing Unlike telling and selling, guiding and directing are polar opposites

Fears in Group Management • Challenging to move from directing to guiding • There is a fear of losing control that drives many • folks to direct the class • The trick to classroom management is learning to balance the flexibility required to meet learners’ needs with the ability to refocus the class.

Bulletin of the American College of Surgeons, 2013

e ffective communication is a key component and common denominator in successful organizations and businesses, and medical practices are no exceptions to this rule. Studies have consistently demonstrated that effective communication is essential to delivering safe and high-quality patient care. 1,2 until recently, residents have not been required to complete standardized courses in communication, and the subject has never been a formal component of graduate medical education. However, the emphasis placed on communication has increased since the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has identified it as one of the six core competencies for physicians. Consequently, many surgical training programs are teaching residents to become more effective communicators and developing processes to improve care coordination and provide more patient-centric care. As surgical training continues to evolve, renewed focus and innovative approaches in communication across disciplines ultimately will enhance the quality of patient care.

Context: Residents' perceived needs in communication skills training are important to identify before designing context-specific training programmes, since learrners' perceived needs can influence the effectiveness of training. Objectives: To explore residents' perceptions of their training needs and training experiences around communication skills, and whether these differ between residents training in inpatient and outpatient clinical settings. Methods: Four focus groups (FG) and a self-administered questionnaire were conducted with residents working in in-and outpatient medical service settings at a Swiss University Hospital. Focus groups explored residents' perceptions of their communication needs, their past training experiences and suggestions for future training programmes in communication skills. © N Junod Perron, J Sommer, P Hudelson, F Demaurex, C Luthy, M Louis-Simonet, M Nendaz, W De Grave, D Dolmans, C Van der Vleuten, 2009.

Apart from our hard skills, every professional must develop soft skills to consolidate their complex skills to attain professional development. Hard skills are those that specific to one's profession. These skills can be measured, quantified and easier to learn. Both verbal and written communication are essential components of professionalism. These skills help interact with colleagues, allied health workers and patients who seek counselling. Some of the practical communication skills involve face-to-face, online video calls or email. One of the main attributes of vocal communication is being an active listener and listening to the patient

Du Plessis, E., Jordaan, E.I. & Jali, M.N. 2010. Communication in a health care unit. (In: Jooste, K (ed.) The principles and practice of nursing and health care. Ethos and professional practice, management, staff development and research. Pretoria: Van Schaik. p. 205-219).

the same way the sender intended it. Messages can be verbal, non-verbal, electronic or in writing. Communication breakdown in health care settings, is a fact of life; in spite of the fact that good communication skills are vital for patient safety and effective team work. Key problems regarding Communication in Health care are: ❖ Shift or patient handovers; ❖ The quality of information documented in patient files, case notes and incident reports; ❖ Status differences inhibit junior staff from speaking up; ❖ Difficulties of Patients understanding information given by healthcare workers. (White (2016). Care givers need good skills in communication, like empathetic listening. "Explaining care options in appropriate and objective ways and accepting each patient's choices are hallmarks of professional behaviour".

Organizations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services & maintaining high standards by creating an environment where Excellence in clinical care is promoted.

Medical Education, 2006

PURPOSE A substantial body of literature demonstrates that communication skills in medicine can be taught and retained through teaching and practice. Considerable evidence also reveals that characteristics such as gender, age, language and attitudes affect communication skills performance. Our study examined the characteristics, attitudes and prior communication skills training of residents to determine the relationship of each to patient-doctor communication. The relationship between communication skills proficiency and clinical knowledge application (biomedical and ethical) was also examined through the use of doctor-developed clinical content checklists, as very little research has been conducted in this area.

BMC Medical Education, 2009

Background: Effective communication skills and professionalism are critical for physicians in order to provide optimum care and achieve better health outcomes. The aims of this study were to evaluate residents' self-assessment of their communication skills and professionalism in dealing with patients, and to evaluate the psychometric properties of a self-assessment questionnaire. Methods: A modified version of the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Patient Assessment survey was completed by 130 residents in 23 surgical and non-surgical training programs affiliated with a single medical school. Descriptive, regression and factor analyses were performed. Internal consistency, inter-item gamma scores, and discriminative validity of the questionnaire were determined. Results: Factor analysis suggested two groups of items: one group relating to developing interpersonal relationships with patients and one group relating to conveying medical information to patients. Cronbach's alpha (0.86) indicated internal consistency. Males rated themselves higher than females in items related to explaining things to patients. When compared to graduates of U.S. medical schools, graduates of medical schools outside the U.S. rated themselves higher in items related to listening to the patient, yet lower in using understandable language. Surgical residents rated themselves higher than non-surgical residents in explaining options to patients. Conclusion: This appears to be an internally consistent and reliable tool for residents' selfassessment of communication skills and professionalism. Some demographic differences in selfperceived communication skills were noted. Background Excellent communication skills are essential to the practice of medicine.[1] Effective communication during medical encounters has been associated with significant benefits in areas such as patient recall and understanding, adherence to treatment plans, symptom resolution, physiological outcomes, and medical decision-making, as well as satisfaction of both patients and physicians.[2,3]

C ommunication skills are often not taught explicitly in residency training. 1,2 Although the impact of lapses in communication is high, the obstacles to teaching communication skills remain significant. 3 There have been efforts to develop formal teaching programs in communication skills, but the need to teach these skills remains largely unaddressed in procedural specialties such as anesthesiology. 1,4,5 A prominent theme in the literature suggests including multisource feedback, particularly patient feedback, in programs aiming to enhance these skills. 6-8 Our long-term goal is to enhance anesthesia residents' communication skills during their training. We therefore adapted the Four Habits Coding Scheme (4HCS), developed by Krupat et al., 9 into a patient survey to rate anesthesiology residents' communication skills. We used this survey to develop a curriculum in communication for anesthesia residents and to detect any changes in patient feedback after the curricular intervention. Consent for Publication We obtained IRB approval for exempt status for this project from the Committee on Clinical Investigations at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). The Committee on Clinical Investigations approved of a waiver of informed consent from patients and a verbal consent script for residents. All residents consented to the publication of this case report. All data for this project were deidentified.

The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, 2007

During an episode of disease or period of care, a patient can potentially be treated by a number of health-care practitioners and specialists in multiple settings, including primary care, specialized outpatient care, emergency care, surgical care, intensive care, and rehabilitation. Additionally, patients will often move between areas of diagnosis, treatment, and care on a regular basis and may encounter three shifts of staff each day-introducing a safety risk to the patient at each interval. The handover (or hand-off) communication between units and between and amongst care teams might not include all the essential information, or information may be misunderstood. These gaps in communication can cause serious breakdowns in the continuity of care, inappropriate treatment, and potential harm to the patient. Breakdown in communication was the leading root cause of sentinel events reported to the Joint Commission in the United States of America between 1995 and 2006 (1) and one USA malpractice insurance agency's single most common root cause factor leading to claims resulting from patient transfer (2). Of the 25 000 to 30 000 preventable adverse events that led to permanent disability in Australia, 11% were due to communication issues, in contrast to 6% due to inadequate skill levels of practitioners (3). Handover communication relates to the process of passing patient-specifi c information from one caregiver to another, from one team of caregivers to the next, or from caregivers to the patient and family for the purpose of ensuring patient care continuity and safety (4). Handover communication also relates to the transfer of information from one type of health-care organization to another, or from the health-care organization to the patient's home. Information shared usually consists of the patient's current condition, recent changes in condition, ongo-▶
