Communication in Medical Encounters: An Ecological Perspective

Jr. Richard L. Street·2003

Abstract

Has managed care made it harder for patients and physicians to talk openly and honestly with one another? Has the Internet changed the way patients communicate with their doctors? What effect are new state and federal health policies (e.g., patient bills of rights) having on the health care provider-patient relationship? To what extent do race and ethnicity affect decisions made during medical consultations? These are but a few of the questions currently being asked by a variety of stakeholders of the health care system, including policymakers, managed care corporations, health care providers, patients, and media pundits, to name a few. Those of us who study health communication should be both encouraged and troubled by these questions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
