Abstract

Communication between healthcare teams and patients is a critical determinant of health outcomes. This 
multidisciplinary study examines how the quality of communication affects clinical outcomes, treatment adherence, 
and patient quality of life (QoL). Utilizing a mixed-methods design across multiple healthcare settings, data were 
collected through validated surveys, medical record reviews, and interviews with patients and healthcare providers. 
Quantitative analysis demonstrated strong positive correlations between high communication scores and improved 
clinical markers and adherence rates, accompanied by enhanced patient-reported QoL. Qualitative findings elucidated 
key communication facilitators, such as empathy and clear information delivery, and identified barriers including 
cultural and systemic challenges. These results affirm that optimizing healthcare communication should be central to 
care models, with implications for training, organizational policies, and patient-centered interventions.
