Clinical trials often involve complex medical information and potential risks, which can overwhelm patients. Dr. Anthony Orsini, a thought leader in compassionate communication and founder of The Orsini Way, has developed techniques that go beyond simply conveying information. His methods enable physicians to communicate complex details with clarity and empathy, ensuring patients understand the trial and feel genuinely supported throughout the process.
Dr. Orsini emphasizes the importance of building deep, trusting relationships between physicians and patients for a truly positive clinical trial experience. His work shows that when patients feel heard and cared for, their trust in both the physician and the trial significantly increases, making consent more than just a formality but a meaningful, ongoing dialogue.
The compassionate communication strategies developed by Dr. Orsini not only meet but enhance FDA ethical standards, ensuring that informed consent becomes a trust-building, fully transparent, and non-coercive conversation, leading to better patient engagement and more successful trial outcomes.
