Abstract
Communication in healthcare delivery is very valuable and quite different from general communication. In olden times, prescriptions were deliberately written in coded language and abbreviations in order to keep the secret of treatment. Gradually as time evolved, healthcare professionals felt the need for patients’ education, and education of patients became essential as the patient understanding of therapy is important since noncompliance of patients to therapy limits the scope of the outcomes. It is very essential to enhance patient cooperation and reduce the stress and anxiety of the patient.
