In a Blink: Awareness, Assessment, and
Adapting to Patient Communication Needs By Michael S. Woods, M.D.
Health care providers often overestimate their ability to communicate effectively at the patient's level of understanding. This can put compliance, safety, and outcomes at risk.

It's the only resource you'll need to raise awareness, improve assessment, and help you adapt within seconds to the patient's communication needs so you provide just the right amount of details for the individual to make an informed decision; and save time, end frustrations, and ensure a quality outcome.
