Quality of Health Services |
In resource-scarce areas of Mexico, health care access is limited and preventative care even more so. Poor doctor-patient relationships further contribute to diminished health outcomes. Conscious of this, IMIFAP performed diagnostic studies to identify methods to strengthen patient service provision. Using this research, we implemented a series of programs to train indigenous and institutional health care providers in patient care skills and health prevention techniques, also promoting knowledge-sharing between the two groups. Program results have included improved doctor-patient communication, increased patient trust, and increased patient understanding of prevention, diagnoses, and treatment.
