The Prepared Patient is our monthly series designed to help Americans participate more fully in their health care and benefit from medical advances and treatment options.
A prepared patient (1) seeks out health information, (2) knows when to call the doctor and how to communicate with their health care providers, (3) can navigate health care services effectively and (4) manages chronic conditions with confidence.
We have gathered resources to assist patients/health consumers in becoming more prepared. Here is our “411”….a directory of resources and assistance that we will add to regularly, to guide and support patients as they search for the best answers to their health care questions and concerns. |
