I found this useful, especially with a new doctor or office APRN.
How to be a patient:
- Go in with a Plan or Key Talking Points
Be prepared with specific topics or questions you want to discuss with your doctor to gain clarity within your appointment time.
- Research Before the Visit
Gather information about your condition or symptoms before seeing your doctor, so you’re prepared to discuss and ask informed questions.
- Use Reputable Sources for Research
Look for information on well-respected sites like The Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Harvard Health, or Johns Hopkins University.
- Use Google Wisely
Navigate information online by sticking to credible sources and avoiding misinformation.
- Determine Your Information Needs
Know what you want to achieve from the visit and what you want to get out of your healthcare, and steer the conversation accordingly.
- Connect with Others with the Same Condition
Join support groups or follow social media accounts to gain insights from others with your specific diagnosis.
- Take Specific Questions or Concerns to Your Doctor
Have a concise list of targeted questions or concerns to make the most out of your appointment.
- Consider Finding a New Doctor if Needed
Don’t settle for a healthcare provider who dismisses your concerns or fails to consider your opinions.
- Be an Active Participant in Your Healthcare
Engage in research, planning, and effective communication to have a more personalized and satisfying healthcare experience.
