Annotated Bibliography Leonard, P. (2017). Exploring ways to manage healthcare professional—patient communication issues. Supportive Care in Cancer , 25 , 7- 9. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00520-017-3635-6 Open, respectful, and effective communication between physicians, healthcare providers, and patients is central to healthcare functionality. With this understanding, vice versa is also true that compromised physician-patient communication has detrimental effects not only on the patient experience but also on the clinical outcome. Leonard (2017), in this case, explores some of the issues that define poor communication. From the authors' perspective, poo communication occurs when physicians devalue the patient's views, fail to understand their perspectives, deliver information in ways the patient does not understand, and desert the patients. In the events where these issues occur, communication is compromised, and the patient's health is affected, including poor adherence to treatment and a high degree of frustration. There is a significant degree of credibility in this article. First and foremost, the publication was published in 2017, not more than seven years, and thus, its findings can be used to support the discussion in the present study. The article also is peer-reviewed, with auth credentials and efferences, elements that satisfy its relevance, authority, and credibility. In this research, the article's findings are relevant in exploring different elements of physician-patient communication and their impact on health outcomes.

analysis. PloS one , 12 (2), e0170988. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article? id=10.1371/journal.pone.0170988 In as much as communication remains integral in a healthcare setting, its primary focus and purpose is to better patient experience, satisfaction, and health outcome. Birkhäuer et al., (2017) , in this case, describes how healthcare professionals enhance trust in the industry and its significance in optimizing health outcomes. From the author's assertions, trust is not defined in the constituents of care delivery. However, it is impended in physician-patient communication and thus equally central to clinical care. With this understanding, trust cultivated by healthcare providers help in optimizing patient satisfaction for the treatment, better adherence to care guidelines, and later improved health outcome, which manifests directly to improved quality of care. This is a comprehensive peer-reviewed journal article published in 2017; thus, its information is still relevant in supporting present issues in healthcare. In addition, the article addresses the issue of trust in care professionals; a relevant study that fits this research project hence validating the article's relevance. In terms of quality, this journal article has attached authors' credentials for authority, references for credibility, and a wide range of references that support the finding's accuracy. The publication is useful in this research as it helps support the extensive relevance of physician-patient communication in healthcare.
