Communication in Healthcare Between Doctor and Patient

Doctor/patient communication in healthcare is the exchange of information between the two parties for evaluating a patient's health, diagnosing a health condition(s) and treating a health condition(s). The communication is bidirectional in that information is exchanged from doctor to patient and from patient to doctor. The communication can be direct or indirect, depending upon the health literacy, cognitive state and the communicative capacity of the patient.
