Doctor-Patient Concordance

Doctor-patient concordance refers to the mutual understanding, agreement, and shared decision-making between a healthcare provider and a patient regarding health concerns and treatment plans. It involves open communication, respecting each other's perspectives, and making collaborative choices that align with the patient's values and preferences. This partnership approach promotes trust, improves adherence to treatment, and leads to better health outcomes by ensuring both parties are on the same page about the diagnosis, options, and goals of care.
