New research confirms what many of us in #healthcare know: how we communicate matters. When patients feel respected and informed, trust and outcomes improve. “Fairness” in care—both interpersonal and informational—matters. #PatientExperience @theconversation.com
Patients who feel heard are more likely to stick with medical treatment
How practitioners listen and communicate helps shape patient experiences in healthcare systems.
