The mission of www.thebedsidemanner.com is to promote a better understanding amongst physicians of what the patient experience of the doctor patient relationship is.

We are committed to improving the relationship between physicians and patients by providing an open online forum for communicating. Never before has patient input been sought on this topic on such a large scale and global manner.

We feel the majority of physicians when presented with this crucial data about the patient experience in the 21st century would utilize this information to provide better care to their patients.

Bedsidemanner’s mission is to use the popularity of weblogs as vehicles of personal expression to bring physicians and patients together in one forum and instigate a change in health care where an excellent, trusting doctor patient relationship will be able to reassume its rightful place as the most important piece of optimal health care delivery.
