A health care provider is defined as any licensed individual, facility, or agency that provides services, treatment, or care to improve or extend the health of an individual. Generally, when people think of health care providers, they think of their doctor or nurse because these are the individuals who most commonly provide health care services to an average patient.

For your Discussion Board assignment, respond to the following items:

Describe a positive or negative experience that you (or someone you know) had with a health care provider. It can be a provider who gave you or a loved one care.

Describe how the interaction went, what you were and were not told, and what the level of trust with the provider is.

Using this experience as an example, identify the characteristics of a quality health care provider. How did this provider demonstrate (or fail to demonstrate) these characteristics?
