Physician-Patient Relations
Within professional-patient relations, Physician-Patient Relations is defined as "the interactions between physician and patient."[1]
A systematic review of the evidence followed with a winnowing by experts using Delphi found five key tactics are[2]:
- prepare with intention (take a moment to prepare and focus before greeting a patient);
- listen intently and completely (sit down, lean forward, avoid interruptions);
- agree on what matters most (find out what the patient cares about and incorporate these priorities into the visit agenda);
- connect with the patient's story (consider life circumstances that influence the patient's health; acknowledge positive efforts; celebrate successes)
- explore emotional cues (notice, name, and validate the patient's emotions)
