Patient-centered communication (PCC) is an important aspect of healthcare quality. This study examined the trends in PCC over the past decade and found that PCC has improved over time. However, differences in patients' perceptions of PCC still exist, with certain sociodemographic groups reporting more positive perceptions. Provider education and resources are needed to further enhance PCC.
Objective: Patient-centered communication (PCC) is a key indicator of healthcare quality and is critical to patient -centered care. The purpose of this study is to examine the trends in PCC over the past decade and determine if differences in PCC by subpopulation remain Methods: We used nationally representative survey data from the Health Information National Trends Study (HINTS) to examine PCC. We conducted trend and multivariate regression analyses to understand the changes of PCC scores and differences in PCC by key sociodemographic groups.Results: PCC reported among adults minimally increased with the largest increases in participants involved in making decisions regarding their healthcare. Participants who were non-Hispanic Black, older, had less than a high school education, or rural residents reported more positive perceptions of PCCConclusion: Our findings indicate improvements to PCC over time. These findings also indicate that differences in patients' perceptions of PCC continue to persist and it's possible that personal expectations may influence a person's perception of the quality of PCC experiencedPractice implications: This study highlights the continued need for provider education in patient emotional sup-port and providing patients with the skills and resources to engage in high quality PCC.
