Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify specific communication behaviors of physicians that are linked to patients' perceptions of care quality and positive health outcomes.
- Among 452 families with children suffering from asthma, several communication behaviors, including careful listening and interactive conversations, were found to enhance patient perceptions of physician performance and reduce unnecessary healthcare use over 12 months.
- The findings suggest that effective clinician communication can lead to better patient outcomes without extending the duration of visits, advocating for a clinician-patient partnership approach.
