Be A Partner in Your Healthcare
It’s your body, it’s your health - get involved and stay involved. Get health care services when your need them. Don’t delay care.
If you are not sure you need an appointment to see a health clinician, but have questions/concerns or symptoms, call your clinician’s office. In consultation with you, they will either provide information and self-care advice/instruction and/or make you an appointment.
Prior To Your Appointment
- Be prepared to share information that will be helpful in your care and treatment.
- Create a list of concerns/questions (it is okay to write them down, so you don’t forget them.) Decide which one or two concerns are most important for discussion as your appointment time may be limited. You may need more than one appointment if you have several concerns.
- Create a description of symptoms - when they started, where you are experiencing them, what makes them better or worse, etc.
- Though you health care provider may have your health record, it may not be up-to-date, so be prepared to share information on:
- - Allergies
- - All drugs you are taking (prescription, non-prescription, herbs, vitamins, illicit including name and frequency/amount)
- - Any complementary care in addition to herbs or vitamins you take
- - Family history
- - Bring a friend or family member with you if you are uncomfortable going alone or feel you may need help with communication.
During Your Appointment
Give Information
Tell your health clinician about your health history, symptoms, concerns, medications, and any allergies, etc.
Your health clinician may ask additional questions about your health behaviors, self-care, mental health status, etc. It is important to be honest and open. Remember, appointments with your health clinician are confidential except for a few legal reporting requirements. Providing full and accurate information will assist your health clinician in providing the best possible care.
Get Information
Ask questions. Take notes. If you feel it would be helpful, ask to have information repeated or written down. Get information on diagnosis, recommended treatment, self-care and follow-up. Ask for written material from your provider and look at information from other reputable sources. The internet can be a great resource if you review reputable sources, but not all sources are reputable; it can also cause heighten unnecessary anxiety/concern and lead to self-misdiagnosis. The internet should not take the place of seeking health care advice and treatment.
Your health clinician can help you make the best-informed choices but you have to ask the right questions.
Follow Up
Call if you have questions, experience side effects, or if your symptoms get worse. Schedule recommended appointments for tests and lab work. Follow through on recommendations for care, and if you decide to stop care, inform your health clinician.
