A Qualitative Analysis of Older Adults' Views of Healthcare Provider Attributes and Communication Skills.

Understanding factors that improve patients' healthcare experiences are essential for healthcare providers (HCPs) caring for older adults (OAs). Previous data supports that effective patient-centered care leads to a better understanding of patients' experiences, values, and preferences. The aim of this study was to evaluate OAs views of HCPs attributes and communication skills to better understand patient's views about their HCP interactions.
