Barriers to Responsiveness and Provision of Dignified care: A qualitative study of Israeli Physicians

Author

Listed:
  • Semyonov-Tal, Keren

Abstract

Although physicians recognize the importance of providing quality and respectful treatment, many physicians face organizational barriers and constraints that hinder responsive and respectful care. While theoretical literature on the issue underscores a variety of organizational barriers that obstruct the delivery of medical treatment in healthcare settings, there has been limited research on the obstacles to responsiveness.
