Enhancing patient and Provider interaction Patients misunderstand health communications more often than we might think. Using clear communication strategies can help your patients better understand health information. Communicating clearly also helps patients to feel more involved in their health care and increases their likelihood of following through on their treatment plans. To learn about patient communication tools you can use in your practice, refer to the links at right. If you would like additional support in relation to patient communication, please email ProviderServicesDG@elpaso health.com.
