Miller School Hosts Expert Panel on Improving Patient Communication
 |
| Monica Broome, M.D., FACP, left, and Paul Haidet, M.D., FAACH, speak to a group of patients about how to improve communication with their doctors at a luncheon on Miami Beach. |
Better communication is the key to better health, according to experts on communication in health care. Knowing how to bridge the patient-doctor communication gap could directly affect the amount and quality of information patients receive. This topic was the highlight of an October 4 luncheon held on Miami Beach and hosted by the Jay Weiss Center for Social Medicine and Health Equity and the American Academy on Communication in Health Care.
