One challenging case involved a patient with severe anxiety who refused to attend follow-up appointments. I conducted home visits to build trust, provided emotional support, and connected the patient with a therapist. Over time, the patient became more comfortable attending appointments, leading to improved mental health and better medical outcomes.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and patient needs, using a combination of electronic health records and manual lists. I schedule high-priority visits first and allocate time for administrative tasks. Flexibility is key, as I often adjust my schedule to accommodate urgent patient needs or unexpected situations.

I strictly adhere to HIPAA guidelines, ensuring all patient information is stored securely and shared only with authorized personnel. I educate patients on the importance of confidentiality and obtain their consent before discussing their case with other healthcare providers. Regular training and updates on ethical standards help me stay compliant.

I maintain open communication with physicians, nurses, and other specialists through regular meetings and electronic health records. I provide detailed social histories and updates on patients' psychosocial needs, ensuring a holistic approach to care. Collaborative care planning meetings help align treatment goals and improve patient outcomes.

I first assess the reasons behind non-compliance, which could range from lack of understanding to personal barriers. I provide clear explanations of the treatment plan's benefits, offer resources to overcome barriers, and involve the patient in decision-making. If necessary, I consult with the healthcare team to adjust the plan and ensure it aligns with the patient's preferences and capabilities.
