The RESPECT Model
What is most important in considering the effectiveness of your cross-cultural communication, whether it is verbal, nonverbal, or written, is that you remain open and maintain a sense of respect for your patients. The RESPECT Model1 can help you remain effective and patient-centered in all of your communication with patients.
