The Issue

I am interested in the issue of doctor-patient relationship and planning. In my opinion, the doctor-patient relationships are significant to the success of any organization, whether it is an inpatient facility or outpatient. Patients will not want to return to the organization if they do not have a good relationship with their physician. It is the responsibility of the manager to ensure that the patient’s needs are being met. Patient satisfaction must be considered as the top priority of a healthcare organization, because the patient is the client and if the client is dissatisfied then the practice is not a success, like any other business. Doctor-patient relationships could improve in a variety of different ways. 1) Doctors will have more access to patient files from other healthcare organizations. 2) Continuity of care will improve. 3) Patients will have greater access to doctors which, for some people who cannot afford healthcare, will improve their health greatly. 4) Decreasing the cost of healthcare will also improve doctor patient relationships as people will not be stressed about the cost when going to the doctor. Likewise, effective and efficient planning is the key to achieve prolific doctor-patient relationships.
