Patient-Provider Relationships
As you have been reading, health, and health care quality, are often impacted by a number of risk factors.
One area that is often overlooked, is the interpersonal aspects of patient-provider communication.
Do some library research (i.e., search the databases using such terms as patient-provider concordance, patient-provider communication; patient-provider relationships, etc.) – read about, and then discuss in a post of at least 150-200 words the impact that patient-provider communication can have on health status. (For this assignment, you may look at the provider as a physician, nurse, or other type of healthcare provider/worker).
