Abstract:
With the transformation in modern medical models and the increasingly diversified needs of patients, building a harmonious and mutually trusting doctor-patient community relationship has become the key to improving the quality of medical services, enhancing patients’ sense of access to medical care, and promoting medical effects. Medical social worker is an indispensable member of the medical team, whose interdisciplinary background knowledge and professional skills provide unique advantages for building a harmonious doctor-patient community relationship. However, the current subjects of research on the doctor-patient community are still limited to the medical staff and patients, and there is a lack of relevant research that uses interdisciplinary thinking and tools to explore the path of building a doctor-patient community. Therefore, under the guidance of the spiral research idea of action research method, by sorting out the action paths of medical social workers in carrying out pediatric neurosurgery specialist services in the past five years, three analytical tools from management, namely the strategic decision-making process model, the organization- stakeholder fit model, and the value proposition canvas, were used to solve the problems and dilemmas in the different stages of building a doctor-patient community. On these foundations, practical knowledge was produced, providing valuable experience and methods for medical social workers to build a doctor-patient community.
