A study by UCLA shows female physicians achieve lower mortality and readmission rates for patients.

Women doctors exhibit stronger rapport and communication, spending more time with patients.

Patients may be more open with physicians they perceive as similar to themselves.

The cause for female physicians' effectiveness is suggested to relate to less miscommunication and bias.

Empathy from female physicians may contribute to better patient care, according to Dr. Megan Ranney of Yale.

Understanding gender differences in patient care can lead to overall improvements, says study author Yusuke Tsugawa.

Weekend hospital admissions are linked with higher mortality, signaling a need for improved care during these times.
