What can you do to help?
- Be an active team player: Identify your health goals with your team and talk with them about your health questions. Share the successes and the challenges you have had with healthcare in the past. It’s important to tell your care team about any recent visits you have made to a hospital, emergency room, or urgent care center. Your care team will also ask for a list of all of the medications you are currently taking. You should always feel comfortable telling your team how you feel about the care you are receiving from them.
- Take care of your health: Follow the healthcare plan that you and your team have developed. Make sure that you understand how to follow the plan and set goals that you can reach. Once you begin to see results, you and your team can discuss adding new goals.
- Talk openly with your team: If you are having trouble sticking with your care plan, tell your team about it. If you feel your care plan is not working, you should communicate your concerns. Together, you and your team can make needed changes
