This study is seeking whether giving or not giving a clinician a card with talking points in the form of a checklist about the patient's story affects the patients care experience or not
During an office visit, the clinician and the patient engage in dialogue and begin a relationship. This traditionally starts with the patient telling their story, which conveys why they decided to seek care. This study will determine the influence of a checklist specifically about the patient's narrative. The checklist will be used during the interview portion of the visit, to remind the clinician to stay curious about the person before them, their experience of the illness, and their explanatory model, and to help ensure that empathic opportunities are not missed.
