The doctor patient relationship is an incredibly important one. Patients must feel that their doctor is one whom they can trust, and who will offer them the best care and advice for treating ailments. Doctors, too, must feel they can trust their patients to allow them to do their jobs and follow the medical advice they give. It is, therefore, apparent why choosing a physician is something that should never be taken lightly, as that the wrong choice can produce a poor doctor patient relationship. When choosing a physician, a great many factors must be taken into account, from office location to area of expertise. Mind Mapping is a tool that can make this selection process incredibly easy, because it allows users to organize important information using a highly intuitive, spatially constructed format. With Mind Maps, one can literally “map out” all the various features one is looking for in a doctor, as well as evaluate doctors along these feature criteria, in one diagram using colors, pictures, or other graphics as desired. Organizing information in this manner has been shown to allow the brain to process and recall the information more naturally, as well as allow one to work with the information more efficiently. Thus, Mind Mapping offers those looking to choose a physician a creative and effective means of managing the process of doing so.
Using Mind Mapping to Compare General Practitioner Options
Curtiss is looking for a physician in his insurance network to serve as his general practitioner. Searching his insurance provider’s website, he finds that there are a number of general practitioners in his area from which he can choose. Curtiss realizes that he needs to find an easy way to compare the services each practitioner offers, so he decides to use Mind Mapping. He begins constructing a Mind Map to compare his choices by, first, representing the purpose of his map, finding a physician, in the map’s center. He then adds branches to his map, on which he lists the names of the physicians he is considering. On child branches that he attaches to the branches, he then lists the relevant information that he wants to compare for each doctor, such as office hours and medical schools attended. Throughout his Mind Map, Curtiss uses colors, pictures, and other graphics to make his map more creative and his choices more conceptual. When he has completed his map, it looks similar to the attached Mind Map diagram.
Finding the Perfect In-Network Physician Using Mind Mapping
His choices clearly and neatly “mapped out” in one, visually stimulating diagram, Curtiss makes his decision as to which physician he will see. Doing so using his Mind Map was far easier than had he chosen to use a traditional list or Internet searching to make his comparison. With the Mind Map, everything he needed to consider about each physician was located in one document, along with associative visuals that made the information more intuitive to work with. Thus, Curtiss was able to evaluate and compare a great amount of information quickly and efficiently, and arrive at a physician with whom he feels he will have a great doctor patient relationship.
