The rate of nonadherence to medication regimens has not changed in 40 years. Nonadherence to medication regimens is a multibillion-dollar problem. This session will describe a new sense making approach to motivational interviewing (MI), an evidence-based approach to improving treatment adherence with health behaviors and health outcomes. This session will help learners understand why current persuasive and paternalistic ways of talking with patients are ineffective. Cases will be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of MI skills in time limited environments.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe why motivational interviewing was developed.
• Recognize the differences between the traditional approach to motivational interviewing and a sense making approach.
• Apply appropriate motivational interviewing skills for improving adherence and outcome to selected case studies.
