Physician-family partnerships: the adaptive practice model.

In the traditional medical model, the physician, acting in the best interests of the patient, assumes full responsibility for delivering information, making decisions about treatment, and providing care. This model is not suitable for chronic care or preventive health maintenance. Recent alternatives to this model include participatory decision-making and family-centered care, clinical approaches in which the patient and family share the responsibility for decision-making with the physician. Research has demonstrated that patients and families vary in their willingness to make decisions about care. The Adaptive Practice model describes how compassionate and effective medical practice ranges from traditional hierarchical relationships to full patient or family control, depending on the situation. Four different clinical approaches--directing, teaching, collaborating, and supporting--result from variations in the direction of leadership and in the degree of interaction in the situation. Each approach is suitable for specific situations. For example, directing is appropriate in emergencies or crises. Supporting is appropriate when families are both knowledgeable and motivated to make decisions that affect their quality of life. Sensitive physicians assess the situation, negotiate an approach suitable to the family's and patient's needs at the time, and adjust their approach as the partnership evolves. The Adaptive Practice model provides a structure for analyzing clinical situations, choosing clinical approaches, and understanding problems in physician-family relationships when they arise.

A combination for success: the optometric partnership.

Mode of practice may be a critical factor in the success or failure of professional optometry. The advantages of partnerships competing with the corporate approach are numerous and hopefully clear to see. As optometric care becomes more complex and specialized, the maintenance or improvements in individual skills become more difficult. To attempt to maintain expertise in all areas has become nearly impossible and the group or partnership practice addresses this situation very well. Many methods of partnership formation have been described over the years, but the gradual buy-in, using earned profits, eases the financial burden, while reimbursing the seller in a very adequate manner. The methods as described make partnership affordable and practical, but the main ingredient of compatibility has to be present before any other consideration.
