Abstract: | Requests for laboratory tests are among the most relevant additional tools used by physicians as part of patient''s health problemsolving.
However, the overestimation of complementary investigation may be linked to less reflective medical practice as a
consequence of a poor physician-patient communication, and may impair patient-centered care. This scenario is likely to result
from reduced consultation time, and a clinical model focused on the disease. We propose a new medical intervention program that
specifically targets improving the patient-centered communication of laboratory tests results, the core of bioinformation in health
care. Expectations are that medical students training in communication skills significantly improve physicians-patient relationship,
reduce inappropriate use of laboratorial tests, and raise stakeholder engagement. |
