TI  - Communication behaviours of skilled and less skilled oncologists: a validation 
      study of the Medical Interaction Process System (MIPS).
PG  - 275-82
AB  - The Medical Interaction Process System (MIPS) was originally developed in order 
      to create a reliable observation tool for analysing doctor-patient encounters in 
      the oncology setting. This paper reports a series of analyses carried out to 
      establish whether the behaviour categories of the MIPS can discriminate between 
      skilled and less skilled communicators. This involved the use of MIPS coded 
      cancer consultations to compare the MIPS indices of 10 clinicians evaluated by an 
      independent professional as skilled communicators with 10 who were considered 
      less skilled. Eleven out of the 15 MIPS variables tested were able to distinguish 
      the skilled from the less skilled group. Although limitations to the study are 
      discussed, the results indicate that the MIPS has satisfactory discriminatory 
      power and the results provide validity data that meet key objectives for 
      developing the system. There is an ever-increasing need for reliable methods of 
      assessing doctors' communication skills and evaluating medical interview teaching 
      programmes.
