  • Write down a list of questions before you go to each appointment so that nothing is forgotten
  • Ask for clarification if something doesn’t make sense
    • Patients learn in different ways – is there a different way the information can be explained? (i.e. drawings, pictures, etc.)
  • Have a caregiver with you – two sets of eyes and ears are better than one
  • If the doctor doesn’t speak your native language, bring a trusted friend or family member that can help interpret. Alternatively, ask the front desk staff if an interpreter can be provided (interpreter services are more available than ever)
  • Ask how to interpret your lab results – what do they mean, what is considered the normal range, what should you be concerned about, etc.
  • Ask if there are different treatment options that fall in line with what you value as a patient
    • Ask if these treatments are covered by your insurance
    • Ask if coupons are available to help offset costs for medications that are more expensive

2) As a provider: how connected and engaged to your patients do you feel?

Between doctor visits, taking the right medications at the right times, and following advice from different health care professionals, managing chronic conditions like diabetes or arthritis can be overwhelming.

If you have Medicare, ask your doctor about chronic care management (CCM) services to get connected care, so you can spend less time managing your care and more time doing what you love.

Chronic care management services may include:

  • At least 20 minutes a month of CCM services
  • Personalized assistance from a dedicated health care professional who will work with you to create a care plan
  • Coordination of care between your pharmacy, specialists, testing centers, hospitals, and more
  • 24/7 emergency access to a health care professional
  • Expert assistance with setting and meeting your health goals

The most important aspect of patients becoming more engaged is patient involvement in their own care. Patients, with access to their health records and actively participating in their own health journey will assist the nurse with patient education regarding new disease processes and changes to medication regiments and promoting overall positive health practices.
