Abstract

Anxiety: How Do I Get Through This Clinic Visit. Lorinda Parks, MD, Primary Care Regional Medical Director

Objectives:

Dr. Parks will discuss when patients come to clinic with a variety of forms of anxiety and how they often serve to derail the medical content of the visit, or risk quash any hope of the provider staying on schedule. There are tools and skills which can be deployed for anxiety similar to those used for HTN or DM but are not as widely taught. This presentation will strive to offer clinicians a usable skill set to educate patients about the message that anxiety is offering them, to remind patient and clinician that each of us can, in fact, manage the “season” of the life we are currently in and even find joy in the messages of anxiety. Participants should be able to utilize Emotional Tag Lines, THE WORK in 4 Questions and the Turnarounds in a formulaic way for anxiety; similar to the way pharmacologics are used in step wise approach to COPD or HTN. Select a tool which can generate understanding of anxiety and facilitate completion of the clinic visit while optimizing joy and connection.
