HAUPPAUGE, NY, November 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) Corporate Performance Consultants, Inc. (CPC) and its Founder and President, Ellen Cooperperson, have been selected for a groundbreaking project that will help 8,000 medical doctors and other healthcare providers to improve their interpersonal and communications skills, which are crucial for improved patient outcomes. Improvement in communications among doctors, their colleagues, patients and family members has been demonstrated to increase patient adherence to doctors' recommendations by up to 19 percent.
Corporate Performance Consultants' project in this area is a groundbreaking collaboration among CPC, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R), the official medical association committed to advancing the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation, and WE MOVE, an ACCME accredited educational provider specializing in neurology and physiatry.
"This project is an incredible opportunity for Corporate Performance Consultants to help physicians communicate more effectively and, in the process of doing so, to save people's lives," said Ellen Cooperperson, the company's founder and president.
Corporate Performance Consultants has significant background in the healthcare industry with a roster of clients that includes the Mental Health Association of Suffolk, Henry Schein, Inc., Bristol Myers Squibb, Corso Physical Therapy, Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, NYC Health and Hospital, and Stahl Eye Associates.
The need for improved communication skills of medical doctors has been recognized and acknowledged, and is now a critical focus of medical education. In 2009, the National Board of Medical Examiners added a Communication and Interpersonal Skills (CIS) Subcomponent to the United States Medical Licensing Examination. Interpersonal and communication skills have also been identified as core competencies in medical education by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in recent years.
"The highly innovative and effective organizational training methods we've been using to assure quality and to build teams in organizations will now be used for an even greater purpose," continued Cooperperson. "That purpose will result in measurable improvements in the health of Americans by assisting physicians in building stronger relationships with their patients. This will certainly increase the likelihood that patients will follow their doctor's advice. We feel truly privileged to have been selected for this project."
Known for producing extraordinary outcomes for hundreds of businesses of all sizes in diverse industries since 1986, Corporate Performance Consultants, Inc. is the firm of choice for enhanced organizational communication by companies throughout the United States and globally. Through a media rich learning experience, this program will challenge physicians to consider the science of how they communicate as opposed to just what they communicate, to identify the style of communication they generally employ in patient interactions and to learn to recognize the language cues associated with other communication styles so that they modify their responses to optimize a patient's ability to understand.
