The provision of good health care is the goal and raison d'etre of all physicians. Meeting the appropriate standard of care goes a long way towards achieving a good medical outcome. Compliance with the applicable standard of care also goes far toward building rapport and goodwill with one's patients. Good care and goodwill are laudatory goals in and of themselves. Additionally, the achievement of these goals will stand the physician in good stead in those instances in which poor medical outcomes occur despite appropriate care. Poor medical results can and do occur because of the inexact nature of medicine. Disability and death cannot be avoided and occur without negligence despite the best efforts of physicians exercising their best judgment. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss ways to implement good care for the management of patients with uveitis and improve and build a meaningful physician-patient relationship. In so doing, brushes with the legal system (whether a claim, a lawsuit, or a Board of Registration in Medicine complaint) may incidentally be avoided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
