ISBN: 9780195176360 出版年：2009 页码：236 Oxford University Press

Trust in the professions and institutions that provide healthcare in America has been eroding for many years and is now close to an all-time low. This decline in trust compromises medical outcomes and presents challenges to all healthcare professionals. This book traces that trend, identifies the basic elements of trust in the environment of modern healthcare, analyzes the sources of mistrust in key areas of medicine, and makes constructive suggestions for restoring trust.
