True charity and professional life: a patient advocacy program. 1988

R L Hiatt, and R J Mosley
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Tennessee, Memphis.

The Patient Advocacy Program, built on an already existing, sympathetic hospital staff, has placed added emphasis on the physician-patient relationship which recently has been obscured by increasing technology, mechanization, and third party process. Furthermore, the Patient Advocacy Program stresses that the patient is the most important reason for the focus of the physician and staff. We have tried to exhibit not only true professionalism, but also true charity, by giving more than is expected and in return receiving an appreciative and satisfying response from patients, parents, and responsible parties.
