Train­ing physi­cians to be bet­ter com­mu­ni­ca­tors builds trust with patients and their loved ones.

In any health­care set­ting, devel­op­ing trust is inte­gral to improv­ing patient out­comes. But in an increas­ing­ly com­plex envi­ron­ment where patients may vis­it dif­fer­ent spe­cial­ists for their needs, build­ing trust­ing rela­tion­ships may not be so sim­ple. This month, Insight brings you two views on how improv­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tions among providers can help physi­cians make bet­ter deci­sions and patients get the care they need. 

Lyn­da Chin, Direc­tor of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Texas System’s REDI Plat­form, describes the com­pli­ca­tions relat­ed to the high lev­el of trust the health­care sys­tem puts in the diag­nos­tics industry.
