The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Area of Science:

Primary Care Medicine
Health Services Research
Patient-Physician Communication

Background:

Patient satisfaction is crucial for healthcare continuity.
Understanding reasons for patient-doctor relationship dissolution is vital for service improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify key factors motivating patients to change their general practitioner (GP).
To explore the relationship between perceived patient-GP communication quality and reasons for changing doctors.

Main Methods:

A questionnaire-based study was conducted.
Participants were individuals seeking to change their GP.

Main Results:

Primary reasons for changing GPs included perceived unwillingness of the doctor to listen.
Patients cited not receiving health services they deemed beneficial.
Perceived disorganization of the GP was identified as a barrier to accessibility.

Conclusions:

Enhancing physician communication skills is recommended.
Involving public health professionals to clarify patient and doctor rights and responsibilities is suggested.
Reorganizing general practitioner workloads may improve accessibility and patient retention.
