List of terms related to Physician-Patient Relations

Within professional-patient relations, Physician-Patient Relations is defined as "the interactions between physician and patient."

A systematic review of the evidence followed with a winnowing by experts using Delphi found five key tactics are:

1. prepare with intention (take a moment to prepare and focus before greeting a patient);
2. listen intently and completely (sit down, lean forward, avoid interruptions);
3. agree on what matters most (find out what the patient cares about and incorporate these priorities into the visit agenda);
4. connect with the patient's story (consider life circumstances that influence the patient's health; acknowledge positive efforts; celebrate successes)
5. explore emotional cues (notice, name, and validate the patient's emotions)

Health communication

The perceived quality of health communication between provider and patient may influence the quality of healthcare including preventive health care and treatment.

The teach-back communication may improve communication.
