Summary: Change a belief and you'll change a behavior, says Allyson Faist, president and CEO of MEDeCoach. There's a formula to the frequency and format of health coach contacts that will engage a client, and ways to handle a client who has received conflicting information from the Internet on a health management issue. An integrated system where the coach and client are on the same IT platform increases the chances for successful, collaborative coaching. Faist will examine how consumer developments are impacting the collection of health risk data and the health coaching sessions that may result from a health risk assessment (HRA) during a September 26, 2007 audio conference, Health Risk Assessments and Health Coaching: How the Web and Consumer's Expectations Are Changing the Landscape.
