Pathways To Trust wants to bring back trust between patients and the healthcare industry with a focus on rare disease patients. We believe the best way to do this is by helping HCPs communicate with patients and caregivers better by offering disease-specific, customized training that targets real-world conversations encountered in treating rare disease patients. Compassionate communication between physicians and patients leads to therapeutic partnerships. This generates trust in the healthcare industry which leads to improvements in all-around clinical, emotional, and quality of life outcomes. When patients believe that their physician cares about what they are feeling, the patients see themselves as a partner in their care. They tolerate pain better, understand their conditions more thoroughly, express their symptoms more clearly and more closely adhere to prescribed treatment at home rather than frequenting the Emergency Department. In addition, their quality of life and daily functioning are better than those who do not believe they have the emotional support of their physicians.
