The recent history of medicine is one of great biological and
technological advances. Diagnoses are being made earlier, diseases
caught sooner, patients living longer. And yet there is one area
that lags behind the rest of the field: despite the efforts of
graduate courses and training manuals, too many doctors still find
communication a challenge. In Patient-Centered Medicine in
Transition, the focus is not on skills or tools but on context to
improve communication not only with patients, but between
colleagues, with management, and within and across teams. Rigorous
and readable, this timely manifesto presents new models of team
process in patient-centered care, emphasizing their value in
reducing harmful medical errors and improving patient care, safety,
and outcomes. Further, the author provides significant research
evidence supporting democratic approaches to communication in
medicine while also addressing vital questions of ethics, empathy,
gender dynamics, and physician self-care. Included in the coverage:
* The epidemic of communication hypocompetence. *
Patient-centeredness without a center. * How doctors think can be
judged from how they listen and speak. * Working and learning in
teams in the new era of health care. * Blunting Occam's Razor: team
process and complexity theory. * Building a collaborative community
in medical education research. Patient-Centered Medicine in
Transition offers a bold new reconceptualization of an important
topic and a roadmap to new frontiers in practice to be read and
discussed by researchers and practitioners in medical education.
