Educational Need
It is well-known that patient-centered interactions in health care promote adherence to treatment plans and improved outcomes. Providing patient-centered care requires providers to involve patients in their health care decisions and empower them to live healthier lives. However, there is only so much that a provider can do from their medical office, and success ultimately falls on the shoulders of the patient to ensure they adhere to the treatment plan.
It can feel impossible for a single provider to keep patients engaged once they walk out the office door. However, the good news is that many resources are available to help close this gap between providers and their patients, including other patient health care team members. If all team members take time to understand each other's roles, communicate with one another to establish clear goals, and support the patient with a united front, true patient-centered care and improved health outcomes are highly attainable.
Learning Objectives
