Follow-up shadow coaching improves primary care provider-patient interactions and maintains improvements when conducted regularly: a spline model analysis.
The purpose of this study was to explore whether a second shadow coaching session (re-coaching) improves the patient experience and maintains it over time. The researchers observed a statistically significant increase of 3.7 points among re-coached providers after re-coaching on overall provider rating (OPR) and 3.5 points on provider communication (PC) (differences of 1, 3, and 5 points or more are considered small, medium, and large, respectively). Improvements from the re-coaching endured for 12 months for OPR and 8 months for PC.

Evaluating the content of the communication items in the CAHPS clinician and group survey and supplemental items with what high-performing physicians say they do.
The authors examined the content of the CAHPS® Clinician and Group Survey and found that the survey items captured many of the most commonly mentioned doctor-patient communication behaviors and practices identified by high-performing physicians. However, three key aspects of communication--nonverbal communication, greeting patients, and tracking personal information about patients--were not captured by the current survey.
