Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 5   EBP 0620 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Clinicians Control the Flow of Information

Captions available

The idea

Clinicians are central to a patient's ownership of health because they control the flow of information to and from patients across ordinary healthcare encounters.

In practice

A diagnostic result explained, or not explained, at the visit where it arrives.

Where people slip

Controlling the flow is a position, not an intention. It operates in every encounter whether or not the clinician is thinking about it.
