ABSTRACT
In August 1995, a committee was inaugurated in our hospital to improve hospital-patient relationship. Under the auspices of the committee, a series of lecture meetings were held with professional consultants and teachers invited. From September to December in that year, the on-the-job training was started and all the staff and part-time workers participated. The second training was carried out exclusively for people in managerial positions and the committee members from January to February in 1996. From March to June the third training was done for all the staff. The fourth and final training was given to the committee members from July to August in 1996. These on-the-job training and meetings resulted in marked improvements in communication between patients and hospital members. Moreover, the reform image of our hospital has been known widely. From now, we should continue our efforts to improve the hospital-patient relationship through various projects.
