Professional
Training Programs
The past 50 years have been a time of rapid global
innovation in healthcare, with significant improvements
in lifespan, accessibility of care, treatment of infectious
disease, and critical care. Because of these successes
we have a new frontier in medicine, improving the
treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes,
high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. The
encouraging news is that most chronic health problems
are preventable. Better lifestyle choices would decrease
Value-Based Care: Making the
Most of the Affordable Care Act
Healthcare reform has made health
behavior change a top priority, with
a move from a healthcare system that
aligned value with more testing and
procedures to one that defines value
based on patient outcomes. This value-
based system emphasizes high impact
preventive care and patient engagement
in health behaviors such as limiting
?
smoking and alcohol, improving exercise
and nutrition, and losing weight. However,
most providers have not been fully
trained in how to effectively help patients
make these health behavior changes.
Furthermore, as health visit payments
change, providers have to learn — and
relearn — how to be appropriately
reimbursed for the services.
Value-Based Care: Making the
Most of the Affordable Care Act
provides essential information
about patient engagement,
preventive health visits and
reimbursement procedures.
It answers the following
questions:
• What questions can you ask to
engage patients in setting and
achieving their health goals?
• What are five main types of
preventive health visits and their
required tasks?
• How can you accurately document
health visit tasks?
• Where can you find up-to-date
information on all types of
preventive health visits?
• What provider resources can you
use to accurately code preventive
health visits?
the incidence, severity, and impact of chronic disease. It
will take new innovation to continue to improve quality
of care. Training providers at all levels in the skillful
engagement of patients in health behavior change is a
critical part of the solution.
As a national leader in training integrative health coaches and
researching the clinical efficacy of this model, Duke Integrative
Medicine is uniquely positioned to train healthcare and allied
health professionals in effective health behavior change.

Health
Behavior Change
To improve a patient’s health and quality of life, healthcare providers must
do more than just treat disease. Rather, they must address the health
behaviors — alcohol abuse, smoking, drug use, poor diet, and lack of
physical activity — that cause disease.
Health Behavior Change shows participants how to integrate personal health
planning and health behavior change skills into their practice. Participants learn
effective patient engagement skills, the personal health planning model, and receive
critical materials to implement this approach in practice to improve patient outcomes.
The Health Behavior Change component is designed to
help you:
• Understand the Personal Health Planning
process, which includes:
• Exploring the connection between patient
self-assessment and medical recommendations
• Creating measurable and meaningful patient
goals
• Following up with patient action on their goals
• Identifying strategies to support a patient’s
ongoing success, and close a series of health
behavior change visits
• Identify resources to implement Personal Health
Planning in practice
• Increase patient engagement in health
behavior change
The Health Behavior Change Practicum component is
designed to help you:
• Apply patient engagement skills and the Personal
Health Planning process, and use these resources to
support health behavior change
• Learn from feedback on mentored practice
sessions
Training Objectives
This course consists of two
components: Health Behavior
Change and Health Behavior
Change Practicum. It answers
the following questions:
• How can providers effectively use
patient self-assessments and
medical recommendations to
help patients plan and set health
goals?
• How can providers effectively
follow up on a patient’s actions?
• How can providers help patients
maintain successful health
behavior change?
• How do providers complete a
series of health behavior focused
visits?
• What resources can providers use
to implement preventive health
visits in their practice?

sessions
Health Behavior Change is structured in four modules:
• Fundamentals of Health Behavior Change: Participants learn about the Personal Health Planning and behavior
change process.
• Creating an Action Plan: Goal Setting and Readiness to Change: Participants learn how to create collaborative
health goals and action steps that are meaningful and measurable as part of their patient’s Personal Health
Planning process.
• Core Skills for Powerful Conversations: Participants learn how to engage patients in powerful conversations
and support them in developing and executing their Personal Health Plans.
• Reassessment, Follow-Up and Support: This module focuses on follow-up visits after patients have created
the initial Personal Health Plan. These visits allow practitioners and patients to assess patient progress and
adjust the Personal Health Plans, and they help patients move into the maintenance phase of health behavior
change.
