How Can Patients and Families Contribute to Coordination?
Patients and families can play an active role in ensuring coordinated care by:
1. Keeping Detailed Records: Maintaining a comprehensive record of medical history, treatments, and medications can help in effective communication with healthcare providers. 2. Asking Questions: Being proactive in asking questions about treatment options and care plans can help in understanding and managing care better. 3. Using Support Networks: Leveraging support networks, such as patient advocacy groups, can provide additional resources and assistance in navigating the healthcare system.
