TL;DR: An instrument for evaluating routine doctor-patient interactions has been developed and requires the rating of 19 items covering the form of the interview, the use of authority, technique of questioning, management of the patient's emotions and information transmitted.
Abstract: Certain basic characteristics of primary care practice shape the content, form and techniqueof the medical interview. These characteristics force the interview to become more a joint discussion of a series of topics than an interrogation or inquisition; more negotiation and consensus seeking than authoritarian prescription and proscription; and more associational than rigidly structured. Information flows from physician to patient as well as vice versa, and includes the psychosocial aspects of being sick and being a patient. An instrument for evaluating routine doctor-patient interactions has been developed. It attempts totake account of these characteristics of primary care practice, and can be used with audio or video recordings of actual clinical encounters. It requires the rating of 19 items covering the form of the interview, the use of authority, technique of questioning, management of the patient's emotions and information transmitted. It can be used in teaching, program planning and evaluation, and in medical care research.

TL;DR: For example, the authors consider the "good" interviewer as one who possesses some of the attributes of the 'good' counsellor, and propose an identifiable solution at their disposal to improve interview efficiency.
Abstract: Research into interviews has largely been ignored by organizations, perhaps because the findings are fragmented and difficult to translate into meaningful improvements. The initial research concern was with the outcome of the interview, which was superseded by an interest in its content, with little attention being paid to the interview process. This has led to erroneous assumptions by researchers concerning the nature of the interview, assumptions that have ‘dehumanized’ the process.
Considering the ‘good’ interviewer as one who possesses some of the attributes of the ‘good’ counsellor might be fruitful. If this is the case, organizations wishing to improve their interview efficiency would at least have an identifiable solution at their disposal: they could either recruit only interviewers believed to possess these attributes, or develop them in their existing selection staff.

TL;DR: The research interview, in contrast to other uses of the interview, is not just employed for the purposes of information gathering; as Cannell and Kahn (1968, p. 530) have summarised a widely shared view, “it has to do with that particular quantitative form of information getting called measurement.
