When patients go to a doctor’s office, they need to know that the PA/NP that is treating them is highly qualified. They should feel safe and know that they are in safe capable hands. A patient should never feel like they are not getting the proper care. Patients need to know that they are being

A common value shared throughout this community is allowing your patients to trust you with their health needs. Allowing them to trust you builds a relationship with the patients, as well as others in your profession.

All too often in regards to medical treatment, physicians are taught everything known about the scientific approaches to disease but still fail to realize the important details of how the disease impacts the individual. Many physicians do not show empathy to their patients and instead just focus on the current diagnosis and the probable outcome. This creates a divide between patient and provider and can even lead to negative feelings of the patient that far outweigh the diagnosis itself. A feeling of hopelessness and despair may accompany the empty feeling that comes with failing to explore the patient’s perspective on care. In this essay, Parrish states,

There is a growing trend where physicians are choosing different specialties instead of choosing primary care, primarily due to the low reimbursement rate in primary care. According to Iglehart (2014),” the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) still projects a shortage of 130,000 physicians by 2025, split almost equally between primary and specialty care” (para. 1). With this decline comes an answer, an increase in the number of nurse practitioners providing patient care, reported 154,00 in 2012 and growing every year (Iglehart, 2014). This increase in nurse practitioners’ helps fill that gap, allow greater health care access to the community, especially special populations. By gaining access to healthcare were a nurse practitioner is the provider not only with the special population have high quality affordable health care, a trusting long lasting relationship will develop. This relationship will break the barriers of; lack of trust, lack of health care education and discrimination. Nursing is a trusted profession that provides education and care that no other health care professional

A pivotal aspect of receiving quality medical care is being able to communicate your health concerns and have confidence and trust in your doctor, which is essentially the doctor patient relationship. Yet, this

Patients seek care and treatment in hopes of receiving confidential, unbiased, honest, and respectful treatment. They also expect that care providers maintain their personal values and beliefs related to their care. As healthcare

There are many health professionals out there who do help patients out, but some professionals like doctors don’t know to treat their patients or how to make patients at easy if something goes wrong. The doctors should have a lot of confident, experience, and treat patients with easy. According to “Wedmed” “Doctors traits should be Confident, empathetic, humane, personal, forthright, respectful, and thorough” (2006). The reason is because patients shouldn’t feel like they are patient of some type of game to that they don’t get better. If they don’t want to treat patients and their families right maybe they should not be part of the this type of professional because it does take a lot of schooling and a lot of time form this type of work. There

"The boundaries between academic medicine — medical schools, teaching hospitals, and their faculty — and the pharmaceutical industry have been dissolving since the 1980s, and the important differences between their missions are becoming blurred. Medical research, education, and clinical practice have suffered as a result"

Complex issues can gain from disseminated and informed decision making. When patients are included in framing a plan, it increases their satisfaction level and it results in better outcomes, and their doctors are less likely to generate unnecessary tests or referrals. Decision on treatment was perceived as unidirectional. Medicines were prescribed to the patients without educating them what the medicine was for or what were its side effects. Once that was complete, doctor would tell patient to come after certain days. There lacked a proper closing session. Doctor’s non-verbal communication would include smiling, attentive listening, and thorough medical checkup. Only when the patients were seen assertive, doctors would respond to the queries

Patient provider relationships play a pivotal role in the healthcare process. This relationship helps to bridge the gap between ailments of the patient and the diagnosis and care of the provider. The need for this relationship and its propensity to create the catalyst for patients need to be fulfilled is second only to the medical knowledge of the provider and the patient 's willingness to get better. As we have moved from a biomedical perspective to a biopsychosocial perspective the relationship between provider and patient has changed from physician centered modes of communication to more of a patient centered style of communication. And with the change of view we find that a strong and cohesive bond between patient and provider is the key to the advancement and overall quality of care for the patient. According to The Impact of Patient-Centered Care on Outcomes a patient centered approach to care has a correlation to a better healthcare outcome. Focusing on the patient increases compliance of the patient.

Before, medical professionals used their skills and knowledge to make decisions for their patients but over the past years, patients’ access to information and changing culture and policies, a process of partnership is emerging [16]. Medical decision-making process has become more of a joint partnership between the physician and the patient.

Understandably providers supported this relationship model as the status quo. In fact, patients that provider shopped or sought a second opinion were considered disruptive and non-compliant in the past (Lee, 2015). In the 1960’s, however the paradigm started to shift to a model that empowered patients (Lee, 2015). In recent years that shift has continued as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) has begun to tie reimbursement to providers with patient experience (Anhang-Price, et al., 2014). Consequently, establishing the patient as a partner in the health care dynamic.

Principle 1.1.6 Quality suggest that a physician must take action to participate in improving the quality of health care. This is compromised due to a physician deeming the health of a VIP patient more important than of a regular patient. Principle 1.1.7 Physician Exercise of Conscience is also compromised, by treating those a higher status could bring forth consequences of a physician’s personal integrity, as well as cause the physician emotional and maybe even moral distress when making certain medical decisions. Furthermore Principle 10.3 Peers as Patients proposes that a when a physical is present with the opportunity to care for a fellow physician he or she must follow the same guidelines and protocols while treating their peers as treating any other patient. While treating someone of a higher caliber, the pressure to impress or appease this person may result in special privileges, or a swayed medical diagnosis due to

Physicians provide care based on their educations and experiences, and if patients do not feel like

In The New England Journal of Medicine, Charles Bardes’ article “Defining ‘Patient-Centered Medicine’” discusses the differences between regular medical care and patient-centered care. Bardes describes patient-centered medicine “As a form of practice, it seeks to focus medical attention on the individual patient’s needs and concerns, rather than the doctor’s” (782). This new form of care works around the patient and their way of life to bring a personalized way of treating their illness. In another section, Bardes states that, “The growing demands for quality and safety in health care have refocused attention on patient outcomes, even if efforts to ensure more consistently positive outcomes sometimes reduce the physician’s prized autonomy” (782). Some people believe that a switch to patient-centered care will make the cost of health care drop because the patient will make cost conscience choices when choosing their care. Others say that if a doctor makes an expensive decision, then the patient will as well. Bardes concludes that patients and doctors must coexist and work in harmony with one another to give the patient the best care possible.
