Show Notes

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: Cory Ingram, M.D.

There are a couple outcomes in taking a medical history. Obviously, one is information gathering. You need to hear the patient’s symptoms to help form your differential diagnosis. The second, and equally important, is to help establish a relationship with that patient. There are several reasons a good provider-patient relationship is important. The patient is more likely to feel positive about their medical encounter, they’re more likely to be adherent to your recommendations regarding their health conditions, and they tend to be more forgiving if they experience an adverse event. What makes up a good provider-patient relationship? What can we do as clinicians to help establish a good relationship with our patients? Can we still establish a good relationship when we practice telemedicine? These are questions I’ll be asking my guest, Cory Ingram, M.D., a palliative care physician at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Provider-Patient Relationship Skills”.
