Abstract
In this chapter, the authors provide an overview of the complex relationship between very important people (VIPs) and the health-care system and discuss the effects of this relationship. The authors begin by describing the VIP population. They then discuss the attitudes of health-care professionals (HCPs) toward VIPs and the impact of these attitudes on the VIP patient's health care. VIP patient and family expectations of health care are also discussed. Additionally, the authors outline the impact of the care of the VIP patients on the health-care system. The chapter concludes with a discussion on ways to improve the treatment of VIPs and future directions for this under-appreciated topic. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
