iSim: Patient Experience Communication

How do you talk to patients about pain?

Communication plays a powerful role in shaping the patient experience—and this month’s featured module helps you sharpen that skill from multiple perspectives.

In Patient Experience: Pain Communication, you’ll step into the shoes of a Patient Care Technician, Unit Secretary and Registered Nurse as you navigate conversations about pain management. Each role offers a different lens on how to effectively listen, respond and support patients and families through meaningful, empathetic communication.

This interactive simulation asks you to choose the best responses during patient interactions, giving you real-time feedback to strengthen your skills. By rotating through different roles, you’ll build a deeper understanding of how collaborative communication impacts patient satisfaction and care outcomes.

The best part? It only takes about 10 to 12 minutes to complete.
