QUESTION 44 OF 45

How would you define great patient care?

Great patient care is essential in the health profession. If you do not provide excellent patient care and customer service, the patient will seek another practitioner and not refer you to others. The interviewer wants to hear what you consider great patient care and if your values align with theirs. Great patient care can include timely access to needed services, incorporating the patient's preferences and treatment priorities, good listening and communication skills, excellent bedside manner, and providing care that is free from harm.

"There are so many aspects to providing exceptional patient care. I define great patient care as showing respect, listening intently to what the patient and family have to say, clearly communicating what procedures I will perform, providing emotional support, and engaging patients in their treatment plan. The way I look at providing patient care is to treat every patient as to how I would want my loved ones to be treated."
