Physician-Patient Relationship
Insurance: The Physician –patient relationship is central to the practice of healthcare and is essential for the delivery of high-quality health care in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Patients who trusted their health insurance plan were more likely to trust their physician. While patients ' confidence in their health insurance may influence patients ' trust in physicians, this relationship is likely to be bidirectional. That’s why patients ' trust in physician and health insurance plan is a key element of treatment.[1] Medical Knowledge: Patient interest, as well as physician acceptance, has been evaluated. In another pilot project, patients are being provided with consumer health information in waiting and exam rooms. The resulting patient-physician communication and level of satisfaction will be measured. When patients assume a greater role in acquiring medical knowledge, there must be a corresponding change in the physician 's role as treatment decision-maker.[2] Technology: Technology’s major advances are frequent in the arenas of diagnostic testing, therapeutics, and pharmaceuticals. Modern information transfer technology has made physicians ' ability to access information about these advances easier and contributed to patients being more aware of changes in many aspects of health care. Electronic health records into medical practice would revolutionize medicine, improving quality of care and patient satisfaction. Electronic health records do bring with them many benefits, including easy access to legible notes, prescription-writing systems, drug interaction systems, and, in some cases, laboratory and imaging information. Other demonstrated benefits include greater adherence to preventive care guidelines and a decrease in the cost of care in the long-term. As a result of innovative technologies patient-physician relationship has being stronger than ever.[3] Accreditation: Research has shown that accredited
