Association Between Physician Communication Features and Patient Outcomes in Telemedicine: Retrospective Cross-Sectional Observational Study

Physician communication practices were significantly associated with patient loyalty and satisfaction. This study is innovative in leveraging large-scale real-world data to systematically examine physician communication. It differs from existing studies by transcending prior survey-based research limitations. It introduces an effective hybrid approach, balancing human connection with text clarity in the field. Its implication in the real world is providing data-driven evidence to guide clinicians and policymakers in designing high-quality telemedicine services.

Abstract

Physician communication practices were significantly associated with patient loyalty and satisfaction. This study is innovative in leveraging large-scale real-world data to systematically examine physician communication. It differs from existing studies by transcending prior survey-based research limitations. It introduces an effective hybrid approach, balancing human connection with text clarity in the field. Its implication in the real world is providing data-driven evidence to guide clinicians and policymakers in designing high-quality telemedicine services.
