RE: How Patient-Centered Medical Homes Can Bring Meaning to Health Care: A Call for Person-Centered Care

  • Bruno Kissling, Retired Family Doctor, former physician in a private family doctor praxis in Berne Switzerland
26 July 2022

Dear colleagues James W. Mold and F. Daniel Duffy,
thank you very much for your great article. Like you I'm also convinced, that the change from a disease-oriented to a person-centred medicine is one of the next steps our modern medicine has to do.
My co-author Peter Ryser, a systemic, solution-oriented supervisor, counselor and teacher and me, a retired family doctor, published last year the book "Mastering the medical consultation - s systemic, solution-oriented process" 2021. The book was first published in German in 2019 and awarded with the Book Prize of the European Society for Person Centered Healthcare by Andrew Miles in 2020. We walk in "slow motion" through a consultation and show pracitcally (with sample questions) and discuss thoretically how a consultation can be performed in a person-centred way.
Let's hope that your and our efforts can contribute to promote the person-centred approach to the patients.
Best wishes
Bruno Kissling, Bern, Switzerland
