PATIENT-DOCTOR PARTNERSHIP

As patients and doctors face more complex choices about medical testing and treatment they seem to have less time to talk about these choices. Inspired by the extraordinary relationships that founding Bulfinch Medical Group physician James Dineen, M.D. has shared with his patients for over 35 years, Bulfinch Medical Group physicians and patients have collaborated to form the Patient-Doctor Partnership (PDP). This initiative has resulted in the creation of a series of programs and innovations that aim to preserve and enhance the most important part of medical care --- the relationship between a patient and his or her doctor. Some of the efforts developed by the PDP include patient education resources, innovative clinical programs, and systems improvements all focused on enhancing communication between doctors and patients. In an effort to maintain these programs and to develop new initiatives the Patient-Doctor Partnership Fund has been established to support this important work.
