However, these questions are spoken hastily, and the technician is not really sure if she’s understood what she’s being asked. The technician gets impatient with the interruptions, and she decides enough questions have been answered when she is done with her report. What does the doctor need to improve?

Oral communication strategies.

The problem is with spoken interaction — the doctor interrupts, asks rushed/unclear questions, and doesn’t facilitate effective verbal exchange or active listening. Improving oral communication (clear questioning, turn-taking, attentive listening) would address this.
