It helps healthcare professionals coach their patients through his\/her healthcare journey to better health outcomes. Gale, addresses in her speech at the 2012 Neuridynamics & the Nuromatrix conference in Adelaide, Australia, why some patients do not adhere to the advice of their physicians and strategies toward better practices in meeting the patient where s\/he is to gain better commitment to healthy behaviour changes.<\/p>\n This directly correlates with my field of primary healthcare, as patient-centred care is one of our main priorities. Part of our mandate is to ensure that healthcare professionals are equipped with the tools necessary for optimal and effective patient engagement and HealthChange\u00ae represents one of the main avenues of doing so.<\/p>\n Please see some of Gales works below:<\/p>\n Janette Gale – So much science, so little practice<\/a> [YouTube]\n
