It is well documented that strong patient-provider partnerships are a conduit to better care outcomes. These relationships allow doctors to gather credible information that facilitates accurate diagnoses, guide therapeutic interventions, address patient values and cultural beliefs, and achieve higher doctor-patient satisfaction. Research shows that engaging patients as an active partner in care through shared decision-making enhances adherence and is correlated with improved psychosocial adjustment to illness and optimizes mental and emotional well-being.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify evidence-based best practices related to the patient-provider relationship.
  • Explore how to leverage the patient partnership to optimize diagnoses and treatment.
  • Discuss the importance of culturally congruent care in patient-provider relationships.
