AnnotationThis article reviews research on communication between clients and health care professionals, with a view to developing guidelines on communication between pharmacists and older clients, now that such consultations are compulsory in the United States. This review suggests that poor communication often reflects a breakdown in collaboration between health-care professionals and clients. Recommendations are developed to improve collaboration, including suggestions for initiating consultations, presenting simple messages, monitoring to ensure that messages are mutually understood. Successful collaboration requires tailoring strategies to individual clients, rather than basing communication on general assumptions about clients.
