AB  - The  medical  interview,  the  major  medium  of  patient  care,  is  of  central  importance  to  practitioners.  A  successful  interview  elicits  accurate  and  complete  data.  It  represents  a  dialogue  that  determines  whether  the  patient  agrees  to  take  a  medication,  undergo  a  test,  or  change  a  diet.  More  than  80%  of  diagnoses  are  derived  from  the  interview.  The  doctor–patient  interaction  is  the  keystone  of  patient  satisfaction;  moreover,  interview-related  factors  impact  major  outcomes  of  care,  including  physiologic  responses,  symptom  resolution,  pain  control,  functional  status,  propensity  to  sue  in  the  event  of  an  adverse  outcome,  and  emotional  health.  The  medical  interview  also  influences  the  quality  of  care,  including  malpractice  suits  and  their  resolution,  the  amount  of  patient  disclosure  of  difficult  or  stigmatized  information,  time  efficiency,  and  the  elimination  of  "doorknob"  questions  as  the  interview  ends.
