  Monthly, phone-based skill-building sessions designed to drive learning transfer and help learners apply new skills on-the-job and overcome common barriers to better member engagement and health behavior change.

• Performance Assessment & Feedback
  A standardized protocol and validated tool designed to assess and improve MI-based health coaching proficiency (and program performance) through expert evaluation and coding of staff-patient recordings or work samples.  

• Internal Mentor Program
  A unique program incorporating performance assessment and joint review of internal mentor candidates, mentor team building and one-on-one mentor skill-building sessions.

Health Coaching Performance Assessment™ (HCPA)

Staff-patient recordings are submitted to HealthSciences, evaluated by MINT and MITI-experienced coders who have completed training on the use of the new HCPA tool. Individual and program benchmarking and improvement reports are then provided. Learn more >
