Using patient friendly language to communicate science empowers patients and families to participate in SDM
Jill Feldman, Co-Founder EGFR Resisters, shared a post on X:
“Communication isn’t something doctors learn in school, and their degree doesn’t depend on it, BUT….. It is at the heart of patient-centered care! Just as research and treatments advance, the way we talk about it needs to as well.
Using patient friendly language to communicate science empowers patients and families to participate in SDM. Thank you J and J Innovative Medicine for recognizing and addressing the communication gap!”
Laura Petrillo, Palliative care physician-investigator in the Division of Palliative Care and Geriatrics at MGH:
“Forever grateful for this dynamo, Jill Feldman, who identifies a need and finds a way to meet it, in this case creating a patient-friendly lexicon to make scientific research accessible to all.”
Eric K. Singhi, Assistant Professor MD Anderson Cancer Center:
“Imagine being transported to a foreign country against your own will, unable to speak the language or navigate your new surroundings. This is what I (can only) imagine patients with cancer and amp; their caregivers experience.
THIS is why patient education research is so important to me.”
