Building trusting relationships between patients and healthcare providers is not merely beneficial; it is essential for effective healthcare delivery. Trust enhances communication, encourages patient engagement, and ultimately leads to better health outcomes. By prioritizing these relationships, healthcare systems can foster environments that promote equity, understanding, and holistic care for all patients. The concept of positionality plays a crucial role in shaping these relationships.

The interplay of positionality and power highlights the need for self-reflective practice and authenticity among healthcare providers. By acknowledging their positionality, providers can build trust and facilitate better patient outcomes. Coconspirators play a vital role in this process by advocating for equity, creating supportive environments, and fostering collaboration. Together, these elements contribute to a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable healthcare system, ultimately benefiting both providers and patients.
