Patient-Clinician Communication: Basic Principles and Expectations. By Lyn Paget, Paul Han, Susan Nedza, Patricia Kurtz, Eric Racine, Sue Russell, John Santa, Mary Jean Schumann, Joy Simha, and Isabelle Von Kohorn*

Marketing experts, decision scientists, patient advocates, and clinicians have developed a set of guiding principles and basic expectations underpinning patient-clinician communication. The work was stewarded under the auspices of the Best Practices and Evidence Communication Innovation Collaboratives of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care. Collaborative participants intend these principles and expectations to serve as common touchstone reference points for both patients and clinicians, as they and their related organizations seek to foster the partnership and patient engagement necessary to improve health outcomes and value from care delivered.

BACKGROUND

Health care aims to maintain and improve patients’ conditions with respect to disease, injury, functional status, and sense of well-being. Accomplishment of these aims is predicated upon a strong patient-clinician partnership, in which the insights of both parties are drawn upon to guide delivery of the best care, tailored to individual circumstances. An important component of this partnership is effective patient-clinician communication.

In the 2001 IOM report Crossing the Quality Chasm, patient-centeredness was defined as one of the six key characteristics of quality care and has continued to be emphasized throughout the IOM’s Learning Health System series of publications. Dimensions of patientcenteredness include respect for patient values, preferences, and expressed needs along with a focus on information, communication, and education of patients in clear terms. Consistent and effective communication between patient and clinician has been associated in studies not only with improved patient satisfaction and safety, but also ultimately with better health outcomes, and often with lower costs. Breakdowns of communication, or disregard for patient understanding, context, and preferences, have been cited as contributors to health care disparities and other counterproductive variations in health care utilization rates. Moreover, professional ethics in health care stress the intrinsic importance of respectful and effective
communication as a core aspect of informed consent and a trusting relationship.

In an era of increasingly personalized medicine and escalating clinical complexity, the importance of effective communication between the patient and the clinician is greater than ever. As the ultimate stakeholders, patients should expect an active role in, and often shared responsibility for, making care decisions that are best for them. Clinicians, in turn, should respect and support patients in this role, valuing their input and prioritizing their preferences in shaping care choices.
