As a culture , we ’ re prone to spend more on carbonated drinks than we do on our own health . As providers , we need to build value in our treatment , emphasize its life-altering benefits , and help the patients understand the real and perceived costs .
Learning Objectives | After this hour presentation , participants will be able to :
1 . Use proper case presentation techniques to increase acceptance 2 . Understand patients ’ objections and counter appropriately 3 . Discuss financials aspects of OAT 4 . Communicate effectively with patients regarding their overall health
