“…These approaches have been demonstrated to improve patient satisfaction and also allow the provider to demonstrate empathy, concern and humanism. 3 It is clear from the study done by Kurtz et al 9 that better physician communication skills improve patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes and that good communication skill can be taught and learned. It is important that physicians learn the principles of good physician-patient communication and apply them in clinical practice.…”

Context: Effective doctor-patient communication is the basic requirement in building a good doctor-patient relationship. Safe practices and effective, patient-centered communication is key to quality care. Good doctor-patient communication has the potential to help regulate patients' emotions, facilitate comprehension of medical information and allow for better identification of patients' needs, perceptions and expectations. Doctors with better communication and interpersonal skills are able to detect problems earlier, can prevent medical crisis and expensive intervention, and provide better support to their patients.Current research indicates that ineffective communication among healthcare professionals is one of the leading causes of medical errors and patient harm. There are many barriers to good communication in the doctor-patient relationship, including patients' anxiety and fear, doctors' burden of work, fear of litigation, fear of physical or verbal abuse, and unrealistic patient expectations. National accreditation board for hospitals and healthcare providers (NABH) standards and international patient safety goals focus on the importance of effective communication in healthcare settings and how it leads to patient safety.This study is an attempt to identify gaps in patient physician communication in the current healthcare settings, find the barriers in communication and give recommendation to enhance good practices in the future. Aims:The aim of the study is to analyze the current levels of effective patient communication in a tertiary care hospital in Delhi-NCR with help of a self-administered questionnaire. The study will assess the level of information shared with the patient. Settings and design:The design of our proposed study is a descriptive study where we will use a self-administered questionnaire to assess the level of patient-physician communication in the selected study setting. Materials and methods:The NABH standard were used as a guideline for preparing the self-administered questionnaire. All admitted vulnerable patients of the selected study area will consist of the population for the study. Simple random sampling technique will be used to derive the sample out of the population. Statistical analysis used:Correlation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to establish associations between the independent and dependent variables. Results:The study shows that 48% of the respondents were of opinion that they were given partial information, while 20% of the respondents alleged that they were not given any information about the explanation of their disease, its prognosis and the treatment option that were available, i.e. a total of 62% of the patients said that they had partial information to complete lack of information that would have made them aware of their diseases, its prognosis and the treatments options available to cure it, while only 32% of the patients agreed that they were supplied with thorough information during their interaction with the physicians. Conclusion:The majority of...

Introduction Good communication between doctors and patients is an important element of care, with benefits for both patients and doctors. However, research also suggests that there are numerous and common problems related to poor communication that adversely affect patient outcomes. Unfortunately, similar research does not exist in orthotics and prosthetics. Hence, we reviewed the literature regarding good communication between doctors and patients to identify potential benefits for orthotists and prosthetists that may motivate them to use good communication in their clinical practice. Methods A literature search was performed using PubMed, Ovid Medline, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Google Scholar, as well as hand searching the references of included articles. Articles were reviewed, and the benefits of good communication to the medical provider were identified and extracted. The medical benefits identified were then considered in the context of a typical orthotic/prosthetic encounter. Results A total of 71 articles were included in this review, yielding 17 benefits to medical practitioners of using good patient-practitioner communication. These benefits were then classified into five beneficial themes that potentially apply to orthotics and prosthetics clinical practice: lessens the risk of litigation, makes efficient and effective use of appointment time, improves patient outcomes, improves patient satisfaction and increases referrals, and improves practitioner job satisfaction. Conclusions Our review of the literature suggests that benefits exist to the medical provider of using good patient-practitioner communication that are likely relevant to orthotic and prosthetic practitioners.
