Posted on: Tuesday, 9 January 2007, 12:01 CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48108) has announced the addition of Narrowing the Health Perception Gap: Coaching to Change Behavior and Raise Self-Efficacy to their offering.
The greatest roadblock to effective disease management programs is often the patients themselves. In the spirit of consumer-driven healthcare, health plans and providers are asking patients and members to accept responsibility for behaviors that impact their health. Disease management efforts and health coaches target individuals with unhealthy habits, but frequently encounter resistance.
In "Narrowing the Health Perception Gap: Coaching to Change Behavior and Raise Self-Efficacy," a 35-page special report based on a July 2005 audio conference, contributing authors delve into the field of behavior modification and suggest techniques health coaches and disease management specialists can employ to motivate clients and patients to adopt healthy lifestyles.
In this special report, Dr. Rick Botelho, professor of family medicine, URMC Family Medicine Center, Dr. Richard Citrin, vice president, integrated care management, Corphealth Inc. and Michael Thompson, principal with PricewaterhouseCoopers, shed light on theoretical models, industry trends and personalized approaches as keys to sustain lasting behavioral change.
