Why These Conversations Break Down
Difficult patient conversations happen every day.
The issue is not effort. It is lack of clarity.
Interactions escalate when:
- expectations are unclear
- communication is inconsistent
- staff are unsure what to say
Without a shared approach, every situation is handled differently, creating stress for your team and frustration for your patients.
