Conversations for Health

Managing conversations that make a difference in primary care and family settings

From the Conversations for Health:

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) funded this series of conversation experiences to understand the impact of simulated role-play conversations, featuring virtual humans, in managing conversations that make a difference in primary care and family settings. RWJF seeks to discover, explore, and learn from cutting-edge ideas with the potential to help build a Culture of Health.

In healthcare, collaborative communication is a keystone of effective relationships between providers and patients. The inability to collaborate effectively is a root cause of many of the failures in health settings and has been shown to decrease quality of care, reduce adherence to treatment, and lower patient satisfaction. In family settings, early childhood is a critical developmental period, during which strong parent-child bonds can have a major impact on lifelong health and well-being. It takes practice to develop the patience and calm to manage stressful parenting situations, which is key to healthy social and emotional development in childhood.
