Barriers to full
disclosure and communication of complete and accurate health history from
patients to their physicians can compromise patient care.
Identification of
barriers to communication between patients and their physicians, and assessing
communication techniques to overcome putative barriers may improve medical
training, quality patient care, and patient experience.
The authors
performed a cross-sectional study using a novel questionnaire at an urban,
inner-city hospital in Toronto, Ontario between January 1, 2011 and January 1,
2012, in order to evaluate potential barriers to communication.
