Healthcare providers Help your patients help themselves.
As a healthcare providers, you know that patients can have better outcomes when they are active, engaged members of their medical teams.
But there’s a problem: Patients and family caregivers face a steep slope as they navigate an illness or injury. There are new medical terms to learn and understand, multiple appointments with multiple providers to keep straight. And they are dealing with strong emotions and life disruption while trying to balance their care (or their loved one’s care) with work and life.
We know that:
- Most people don’t remember some or most of their doctor’s recommendations after a visit, even if reminded.
- When people do remember medical information, they get the details wrong about half the time.
- Among patients taking medications for chronic diseases, only 50% take their medications as directed by their doctors.
- Patients who are more involved in their care are:
- Less likely to experience a medical error.
- Less likely to be readmitted to the hospital after discharge.
- More likely to have better care coordination and communication among their healthcare providers.
