Child Objectives
  • Recognition of the difference between illness and disease and application of this distinction in assessment and management of patient problems.
  • Routine exploration of patients’ experiences of illness—their feelings, their ideas, effects of the illness on function, and expectations for care. (The acronym FIFE is often used as an aide-mémoire for these issues.)
  • Exploration of patients’ personal history and context (family, job, school, geography, environment, etc.).
  • Shared decision-making/finding common ground—supporting patients to have as active a role in all decisions affecting their health care as they desire.
  • Patient education.
  • Recognition of a range of approaches to collaborating with patients, and of when each approach (deliberative, interpretive, informative, and paternalistic) is most appropriate.
