Broad Clinical Interviews

Broad Clinical Interviews
When I evaluate a new patient, I work to compress data collection and screen time on the front end of the visit so I can free up the remainder of the visit for face-to-face discussion and shared decision making. This intentional visit design is necessary because of the realities of modern clinic schedules. And so the questions I ask and their sequence is important to my understanding as well as the experience of the patient.

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.

Role of a Family Caregiver

In medicine there are clinical interview questions that deliver high impact nuggets at low-cost. This is one of them. This question exposes critical data that, in the background, often drives my initial approach to diagnostics and therapy. If you are a health professional try it and you’ll see. Clearly, there are clinical specialty visits that are more transactional where open-ended questions are not as critical. A good example would be consultation with a surgeon for hernia repair where the task at hand is unequivocal. (Source: 33charts.com)

Testimonials

In a world where our elders are the most vulnerable and the least cared for, 1stopsheba is trying to bring comfort and peace of mind to them. Time flies and many of us will become senior citizens before we know it. If we do not support these efforts now, they will not be there for us when we need them.

Service is beyond expectations in the context of Bangladesh. My mother was very satisfied with their service. As a health care professional in Canada i feel their service for senior persons is very much coordinated and organized. Definitely recommend them to the people who lives abroad with parents in Bangladesh.
