Does this make you want to change the status of the relationship-Possibly even change providers-Why?

Discussion Board

Week 3 Discussion: Relationship

Reflect on your current relationship with your primary physician and describe what level your relationship with the practice can be assigned based on the scale below:

Acquaintances – relationship is a first few times office visits.

Friends – repeat usage gives the provider knowledge of the patient.

Partners – high level of trust with one of the providers in the practice.

Has your provider tried to enhance the relationship between you two? If yes, what strategies did they use to do so? Was it effective? Why? If no, does this make you want to change the status of the relationship? Possibly even change providers? Why?
