Trust in healthcare: an evolving concept
Vijayaprasad Gopichandran
Abstract:
There has been increased interest over the past couple of decades in the public's trust in doctors and in the health system. The fundamental basis of a healthcare relationship is trust, which is the patient's voluntary acceptance of his vulnerability in the expectation that the healthcare provider will do the best for him.
