The overarching goal of these techniques is to establish trust and improve health outcomes through comprehensive, patient-centered care.
The document discusses communication strategies for difficult patient interactions. It provides a framework called NURS to improve communication by naming the patient's emotions, understanding and validating them, respecting their experience, and supporting partnership. Specific types of difficult patients are described such as angry, non-compliant, seductive, and manipulative patients. Strategies are outlined for each type, emphasizing active listening, validating concerns, and setting clear boundaries. The goal is to de-escalate conflicts and establish trust and shared understanding to improve the patient-provider relationship.
The doctor-patient relationship is central to the success of the 500,000 daily GP consultations in delivering healthcare. Effective communication is key, as patients who feel at ease and are encouraged to openly share the real reasons for their visit are more likely to receive accurate diagnoses. The advice, reassurance and support from doctors can significantly impact patient recovery. However, consultation styles vary between doctor-centered paternalistic approaches and more patient-centered methods, and the average brief consultation time of 8 minutes makes fully patient-centered care difficult. An integrated approach considering physical, psychological and social factors is more likely to produce better health outcomes.

This document discusses the doctor-patient relationship and communication. It covers:
1) The core of medicine is the doctor-patient relationship, with patients expecting both a good relationship and cure. The relationship itself can be part of the therapeutic process.
2) Patients want to trust their doctor's competence, navigate the healthcare system effectively, be treated with dignity and respect, understand how illness/treatment affects their lives, discuss impacts on family/finances, and learn self-care.
3) Effective communication is unique due to the immediate trust and vulnerability patients have with doctors during examinations. Respect, empathy, objectivity, and understanding patient autonomy and values are important.
The document discusses the doctor-patient relationship (DPR) and its evolution over time. It outlines four historical models of the DPR: paternalistic, informative, interpretive, and deliberative. Traditionally, the paternalistic model placed doctors in a dominant role, but more recent models emphasize patient autonomy and a mutual relationship through communication and trust. Properly establishing the DPR requires both parties to understand expectations and negotiate needs, while avoiding overstepping professional boundaries.
The doctor -patient relationship is complex one. A lot of factors come into play. These are to do with doctor's own personality, family background, workload, work environment etc. Also matter the patient's background, education, etc
Mostly it is to do with workload and to some extent the patient's repeated silly questions which needs common sense and not medical knowledge to answer. When confronted with such situations just nod your head rather then give a rude reply. In my opinion rudeness should be avoided at all cost.
This document discusses important aspects of patient care that patients and caregivers should know. It outlines 4 key recommendations from a hospice physician: 1) Do not wait for doctors to recommend hospice and communicate needs for palliative care sooner, 2) Understand that palliative care is not just for dying patients, 3) Laugh more and enjoy life despite illness, 4) It's okay for caregivers to occasionally leave patients alone in their room. The importance of communication between doctors and patients is also highlighted.
Dentist patient relationship and quality careDr Medical

It covers influences on the relationship like time constraints, patient/doctor characteristics, and structural context. Effective communication skills, health literacy, consent, and partnerships in treatment decision making are also examined. The relationship has evolved from traditional paternalism to emphasize patient-centered care and shared decision making.
Nurses are well-suited to serve as patient advocates because they develop close relationships with patients and families, provide holistic care, are skilled communicators who understand each patient's cultural and personal context, and serve as a key part of the healthcare team. However, current healthcare trends like decreased staffing and increased roles for unlicensed assistive personnel reduce nurses' direct contact with patients. As a result, patients benefit from nurse advocates who can coordinate care, ensure patients make educated decisions, and communicate patients' needs and concerns to providers. Nurses are well-positioned to fulfill this advocate role through their clinical expertise and commitment to patient-centered care.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

7. The History of the Doctor-Patient
Relationship
20+ years ago... Over the last 20 years
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lower rates of education
Less access to good medical
care
Doctors trusted completely
Doctor gave
advice/medication and
patient would take it Patients’
ideas, concerns &
expectations not asked about
Doctor treated- family cared
Doctor Centred Approach
•
•
•
•
•
•
Higher rates of education
Medical advice on
internet/libraries
Better access and choice of
good medical care
High profile cases of doctors
not acting professionally-
general mistrust of doctors
Broken families- doctors
need to treat and care
Patients want to make own
decisions
8. •
•
•
•
Four types of doctor- patient
relationship
Paternalistic
Mutual
Consumerist
Default
9. •
•
•
•
•
•
•
Paternalistic relationship
Traditionally characterized medical consultation
Autocratic model
It is assumed that Dr knows best
High physician control and low patient control
The doctor is dominant and takes on role of
“parent”
Patient submissive
Shift towards Mutuality
10. Communication in Paternalistic
Between doctor and patient
•
•
•
Foundation for diagnosis and treatment (elicit &
convey information)
Relationship has a therapeutic effect placebo effect
of drug
Doctor-centered consultation (Paternalistic style)
‘Closed’ nature questions e.g. “How long have you had
the pain? & is it sharp or dull?”
Diseased centered model talk
13. MUTUAL PARTICIPATION MODEL
• Both parties share power and responsibility,
exchange of ideas & sharing of belief systems,
need each other and will work towards choices and
actions satisfying to them both
• Open questioning, interested in psycho-social
aspect of illness history & examination investigation
results in a diagnosis
• Hence there is integration
14. COMMUNICATION
Between doctor and patient
• ‘Patient-centered’ approach (Mutuality)
Encourage & facilitate their patients to
participate
Use of ‘open’ questions e.g. ‘tell me about your
pain’, ‘how do you feel? & ‘what do you think is
the cause of the problem?’
Active listening skills, requires more time
(participative style)
It’s serious isn’t it doctor?
15. •
•
Patient’s role in mutual relationship
Patients need to define their problems in an
open and full manner
The patient’s right to seek care elsewhere
when demands are not satisfactorily met
16. •
•
Doctor’s role in mutual relationship
Physicians need to work with the patient to
articulate the problem and refine the request
The physician’s right to withdraw services
formally from a patient if he or she feels it is
impossible to satisfy the patient’s demand
17. •
•
•
Advantages
Patients can fully understand what problem
they are coping with through physicians’ help
Physicians can entirely know patient’s value
Decisions can easily be made from a mutual
and collaborative relationship
18. •
•
Disadvantages
Physicians do not know what certain degree
should they reach in communication
If the communication is fake, both physicians
and patients do not have mutual
understanding, making decision is
overwhelming to a patient
19. •
•
consumerist relationship
The patient takes the active role and the doctor
plays passive role.
Trying to satisfy the patient need in term of referral to
the hospital, usage of medication and sick leave.
21. •
•
•
•
•
•
•
Relationship of default
When patient and physician expectation are at
odds
Or when the need for change in the
relationship cannot be negotiated
The relationship may come to a dysfunction
standstill
Passive role by the patient and the doctor
Lack of sufficient direction in consultation
Ineffective in dealing with the illness.
Commonly occur in managing chronic illness
e.g. diabetes mellitus and hypertension,
22. •
•
•
•
Doctor-patient relationship in the past
Paternalism
Because physicians in the past are people who
have higher social status
“doctor” is seen as a sacred occupation which
saves people’s lives
The advices given by doctors are seen as
paramount mandate
23. •
•
•
•
Doctor-patient relationship at present
Consumerism and mutuality
Patients nowadays have higher education and
better economic status
The concept of patient’s autonomy
The ability to question doctors
24. •
•
Social roles of doctors and patient
Occupying social role which facilitate
interaction as they define the expectations
and obligations of each participant.
Ensure that patients return to health and
normal role performance as soon as
possible.
26. •
•
Parsons’ model
Parson saw the doctor and patient as fulfilling
necessary functions in a well balanced and
maintained social structure
Sickness is considered to be a necessary,
occasional respite, providing a brief exemption
for patient from social responsibilities
27. •
•
Patient’s role
When sick, a patient is allowed the privileges
of convalescence-he or she is not held
responsible for poor health and is excused
from everyday responsibilities
In order to enjoy these privileges, the patient
must seek technically competent help and
comply with medical advice
→passive and dependent
28. •
•
Doctor’s role
Be guided by rules of professional practice
Applying a high degree of skill and
knowledge to the patients
The doctor legitimates the patient’s illness
and determines the course of treatment.
In doing so, the physician is compelled by
professional ethics to act only in his or her
sphere of expertise, to maintain an emotional
detachment and distance from the patient,
and to act in the patient’s best interest
→professionally dominant and autonomous
29. Parsons’ “Ideal Patient” (Sick
Role)
Rights (Permitted) to:
Give up some activities and responsibilities
Regarded as being in need of care and unable
to get well by his own decision & will
Obligations (In Return) :
Must want to get better quickly
Seek professional medical advice and
cooperate with the doctor.
Parsons, 1951

42. Why is Doctor-Patient Communication
Unique?
• Trust
– Patients on the first visit share their most personal
information to someone they have never met

critical health care decisions
– Within minutes of meeting, patients are often
required to disrobe for a physical examination and
are placed in a vulnerable situation
43. Empathy
• To understand a person’s experience
• Different than sympathy
• Requires
– Active listening
– Interest in patient’s experience

Influence of time
Shortage of time is a major constraint –
paternalistic approach
Less attention paid to social and
psychological aspect
Unnecessary prescription issued
Increase in the number of visits
Thus more time required for participative
patient centered consultation, listen to
patient’s worries and concern
51. The importance of a good
PATIENT DOCTOR RELATIONSHIP
lies in the :
• Confidence
• Trust
• K n o w l e d g e
• Shared k n o w l e d g e about
diseases and how they
are r e l a t e d
52. The success of a good Doctor
Patient Relationship is related to
• Amount of Information
• Quality of Information
• Accuracy of Diagnosis
• Effective Treatment
• Compliance
53. IN SUMMARY
