Patients thrive in environments where they know what to expect. Trust is built when promises are kept and information is consistent across team members.

How to Stay Consistent:

Give realistic timelines for calls, appointments, and results

Check in with patients after appointments

Train staff on standard phrases/scripts for common situations

Ways to Personalize Care:

Use their name more than once in a conversation

Refer to previous appointments or concerns (“How’s your knee feeling since last time?”)

Make notes on their preferences or anxieties

Mini Task:
Write a 3-sentence “Care Commitment” that reflects how you plan to consistently show up for patients.
