Patient Autonomy
Autonomy = freedom to decide !Doctors need to : 1. present the options to the patients and 2. allow patients to choose for themselves !Informed choice means patients need
information
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com!
Educating patients
Most doctors do not spend much time educating their patients
!Primary role of a doctor should not be
merely treating an illness, but helping people remain healthy
Patients are the practise !
Everything else is just paper work !
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com!
Benefits of patient education :

✓ include ability to engage with patients
at emotional level, to listen, to convey
information with clarity & sympathy
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com!
Patient education – key component of informed consent
Don’t tell the patient what to do Present the information and the
treatment options – and allow them to make up their own mind ! Empower patients with information –
they will respect you for this !
Information therapy - “ Prescribing the Right Information to the Right Person at the Right Time” is
the best way of bridging the doctor-patient communication gap today !
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com!

medical profession has become crass and commercialized Doctors feel unappreciated,
overworked, victimised and threatened.
Foundation of the relationship
Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com!

confident that you will act honorably ? Intimacy = is he comfortable discussing
his feelings and emotions with you ? Self-orientation = can he trust your
motives, knowing that you care about him, and will act in his best interests ?

!In research conducted by Press Ganey, hospitals were divided into four groups (quartile) based on their profitability. !The least profitable hospitals had the lowest patient satisfaction scores (out of 100 points). The most profitable had the highest patient satisfaction !!
Source: HFM Magazine, 2008 : Looking to improve financial results ? Start by listening to patients : By: Melvin F Hall PhD
As patient satisfaction increased, the average hospital profitability increased
Without a quantifiable link to profits, the push for patient satisfaction is based on nothing more than the moralistic view that “it’s nice to be nice”

When hospitals spend most of their efforts in clinical results & process improvement, their data are defined by outcomes and thus can be measurable objectively.
!! Patient however,
judge quality by his/ her perceptions, something that is subjective and cannot be verified in the same way as outcome.

Patients expectations from their doctors ?
Expertise ( be well-informed and uptodate) !Professionalism – look out for the patient’s best interests !Accountability – be answerable; say Sorry ( if there is a mistake) !Transparency – no unnecessary tests and referrals !Respect their desires and their time !Treat them as intelligent human beings
