AB Whenever  and  wherever  health  professionals  congregate,  the  topic  of  difficult  situations  with  patients  and  families  often  comes  up.  Literature  suggests  clinicians  experience  up  to  20%  of  their  patients  as  “difficult.”  These  difficult  encounters  often  increase  frustration  and  decrease  satisfaction  with  our  work.  They  may  impede  our  ability  to  deliver  the  patient-centered  care  that  is  at  the  heart  of  high-quality,  satisfying,  and  effective  health  care.
