Overview
For me, providing patient care must involve a few ingredients. First, creating a comforting and trusting relationship is paramount to effective communication. Second, developing a plan of care that is tailor made for each patients needs will help address the concerns of each individual patient. Lastly, Integrating experience with evidence-based medicine, without losing focus of what is important to the patient, ultimately will produce favorable outcomes and satisfaction.
