Document Summary
Patient-provider relations: people vilify and praise health care professionals, this contradictory attitude is because health is of high value to us; since everything we do depends on our health. What is a health care provider: canadians increasingly receiving much of their primary care from individuals other than physicians, including nurse practi- tioners and complimentary and alternative medicine providers. In canada, the canadian forces is their main employer, but pilot programs are introducing physician assistants in facilities in. Ontario: physician assistant education master"s programs launched in 2008 to increase their numbers, first year of program: seminar education, second year: clinical training. Why is patient-provider communication important: poor patient-provider communication has been tied to non-adherence to treatment and failing to disclose concurrent use of alternative treatments, criticisms of providers usually centre on volumes of jargon, little feedback, and depersonalized care. If provider is uncertain about nature of the condition, satisfaction declines: but these are unrelated to technical quality of care.
