Coaching Philosophy
Insignia Health's Coaching For Activation™ program helps individuals become more successful in managing their health as they achieve greater self-management competency. The Coaching For Activation™ program is guided by six key principles:
Kick start behaviors. Rather than wait for motivation to develop, opportunities are sought, however small, to help individuals develop greater self-efficacy
Start where the patient is. Behaviors are pursued that are realistic and achievable given an individual’s current level of activation
Connect health coaching to the participant’s life. Responses to individual PAM™ questions help coaches quickly develop rapport and engage in meaningful and reflective dialog with the participant
Participant takes ownership. Focus is placed on areas of concern that the individual wants to work on or change. The health coach guides the participant with suggestions for appropriate goals and action steps that are consistent with an individual’s current level of activation and their area of desired focus
Support outside of coaching interactions. Self-care resources are provided as appropriate in support each participant-desired goal and action step
Feedback on progress. Follow-up PAM™ testing assesses changes in activation and behaviors, and offers formative assessment of program effectiveness |
Research Backing
Insignia Health's Coaching For Activation™ program incorporates the insights offered by a PAM™ score and the responses to individual PAM™ questions, and empirically-based insights into to the performance of more than 80 health-related behaviors by level of activation (see BehaviorMap below). Layered upon this research base are learnings garnered through disease management and health improvement programs in which the PAM™ has been incorporated into the health coaching process.
Coaching For Activation™ Program Components
Integrating the PAM™ and related insights into a coaching program is achieved through three core elements:
Training
Coaches are trained to administer the PAM™, interpret and leverage PAM™ results, and to use Coaching for Activation™ guidance in conjunction with their coaching programs
Online Administrative Suite
Through Insignia’s online coaching suite, a coach can administer the PAM™ and other survey modules, quickly view a participant’s score, health status (if queried) and individual item responses, and chronicle changes in activation over time. Individual question responses support coach-participant collaboration and help a coach engage participants in self-reflection and bring focus to behavior change opportunities.
Coaching For Activation™ Guidance
Behavioral goals and related action step suggestions are tailored to an individual’s health status and level of activation. With this approach, coaching can quickly focus on realistic behavior change opportunities and carefully build upon an individual’s self-management competency. Goals and steps are reinforced with self-care resources suitable for easy distribution in support of a participant-selected plan of action. |
