Technology has revolutionized healthcare delivery, but it has also introduced unintended challenges—particularly in the way clinicians connect with patients. With electronic documentation often demanding more attention than the patient in front of them, healthcare providers may overlook critical nonverbal cues and find it increasingly difficult to engage in meaningful, sensitive conversations. This session will explore practical strategies to enhance bedside communication and patient engagement in the digital age. Attendees will learn best practices for maintaining human connection while navigating technology, techniques for handling difficult discussions with compassion and clarity, and ways to promote transparency and rebuild trust in the patient-provider relationship.
