A new week…a new opportunity

Consumers of healthcare and providers of healthcare are partners in advancing health wealth for all. When you encounter your partner in healthcare , be prepared with an opened mind , a patient heart and a cooperative soul. Communication is key. One simple tool to ensure you are speaking the same language is the “teach back method “. Simply put , the physician (provider) asks the patient (consumer) to reiterate the instructions provided. Keep communicating until you both at speaking the same language.
