NEPA Vital Signs - Winter Spring 2018 - 15

WINTER/ SPRING 2018

Feature

"Treated right.

Here."

EVERY WEEK IN LACKAWANNA
COUNTY, 26 PEOPLE ARE DIAGNOSED
WITH CANCER.
The most advanced equipment. Clinical research
trials. And a highly-coveted accreditation for excellence
in care and safety. The second of only four centers in
Pennsylvania to have achieved this designation.
Right here at home.
The right team. The right technology. The right treatment.

Patients can sense a provider's
hesitation and will likely turn down a
treatment that their provider does not
seem passionate about, provided it is not
mandated. Being able to fully answer a
patients' questions can help a provider
build their confidence and strengthen
their patient-provider relationship.

Think about the ways you approach other, less stigmatized
vaccines. What are the benefits of the vaccine? What is the risk
of not getting it? How prevalent is HPV and is it really true that
most people will contract it at some point in their lifetime? For
patients, time in an exam room with your provider may feel
limited at times. To make the most of your visit and alleviate
any exam room jitters, prepare your questions and write them
down in advance.

In our age of sensationalized media, it is not surprising that
patients are becoming skeptical of what is truly best for them.
Having open conversations about our hesitations with our providers is the first step to overcoming them.
As healthcare providers, it is up to us to build a trusting relationship with our patients, understanding that communication is
a two-way street. Listening to patients' concerns and addressing
them candidly can help build a trusting patient-provider relationship and empower our patients to make educated decisions
about their care.

Get Well Soon!
