J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2018;29(3):975-983. doi: 10.1353/hpu.2018.0073.

Abstract

Patient-centered communication is a means for engaging patients in partnership. However, patient centered communication has not always been grounded in theory or in clinicians' pragmatic needs. The objective of this report is to present a practical approach to hypertension counselling that uses the 5As framework and is grounded in theory and best communication practices.
