Paul's RN Health Coaching

Introduction: The future of health care is moving toward prevention. As a health coach, I call companies' clients and provide coaching to help guide them to leading healthier lives. This is done by asking the client open-ended questions and by using motivational interviewing to determine what their health needs are. They are assisted by me to develop practical health goals. Follow-up calls are sometimes scheduled by the client, and I track the progress of the goals. Health coaching provides help for clients with chronic diseases, such as COPD, DM, CAD, etc. and other areas that can affect health, like smoking and stress. By helping clients set and reach their health goals, it is hoped that the client may avoid adverse health conditions or prevent the exacerbation of current ones. This helps to keep the client out of the hospital, which saves health insurance companies money and maintains good health for the client, creating a win-win situation.
