Transforming patient care with motivational interviewing

Gastroenterologist Steven Pearce, health care consultant Bruce A. Berger, and physician advocate Kim Downey discuss their article, "How motivational interviewing transforms patient care and outcomes." They explore the transformative power of motivational interviewing (MI), an evidence-based, patient-centered approach that enhances patient engagement and adherence by exploring motivations rather than persuading or correcting. Bruce shares practical strategies for clinicians to connect authentically with patients, Steven reveals how seeing patients' "loving essence" reshaped his practice, and Kim emphasizes MI's role in fostering meaningful health care relationships.
