Evaluation of an Online Training Module to Support Healthcare Communication for Individuals with Complex Communication Needs

Rebecca Stroschein

Successful communication between a patient and medical staff is essential for good health care outcomes. People who have difficulty with speech are three times more likely to experience an adverse medical event, sometimes even dying as a result of communication breakdowns. The PACT strategy was developed to improve patient provider communication outcomes. This poster describes the development and evaluation of an online training module to train pre-service professionals on the PACT strategy.
