Abstract:
The exercise of medicine has changed since its beginnings up to the present day. Technological advances and changes in the management of the health service caused a distance between the patient and the doctor. On the other hand, professionals prefer to not have their own patients, but rather to strictly adhere to the diagnosis or treatment (specialists) without involving or committing themselves. A fragmentation of the attention that does not benefit the patient can thus be observed. The humanization in medical attention is characterized by a group of practices that are orientated at achieving better attention and greater care. The humanization process of the endeavor contributes so that this is welcomed by the other party, to improve the relationship, the patientś safety and to prevent medical errors.
