11. Patient-Centered Care
Ready: Reassure patient that you “know them”
Accessible: Be there when the patient needs you
Prepared: Respect patient and their time
Precise: Clarify all treatment and follow-up
Organized: Don’t ask patient what you should know or have
available in their medical record
Respectful: Always answer phones/resolve patient concerns
Thorough: Tell patient what to do if they feel worse
Patient-Centered Care Begins with Access to Earn Trust!
