'patient rapport' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'beer's in demand to improve' is the wordplay.
'to improve' indicates an anagram.
'beers'+'in'+'demand'='beersindemand'
'beersindemand' with letters rearranged gives 'BEDSIDE MANNER'.
