Key Communication and Data Challenges in Healthcare Consultations

Ineffective communication during healthcare consultations hampers diagnostic accuracy, patient engagement, and operational efficiency. Current practices often overlook subtle verbal and nonverbal cues, face time limitations, and fragmented data sources such as electronic health records (EHRs), leading to increased misdiagnosis rates and suboptimal patient outcomes.
