Effective doctor-patient communication is a central clinical function in building a therapeutic doctor-patient relationship, which is the heart, and some would say the art of medicine. The panel is joined by Vynamic colleague & guest, Deepa Mischler, to discuss the “how” around improving provider/patient interactions, and friend of Vynamic, Mike Puchtler, VP Patient Experience at Christiana Care Health System. Mike’s focus is in driving excellence in patient experience at Christiana and we can’t think of a better guest to join us in this conversation.
