SUMMARY:Getting the Most from your Healthcare Appointment
DESCRIPTION:Program Description\nThe “Getting the Most from your Healthcare Appointment” workshop was developed for the public by the South West Self-Management Program in 2013. This 1 – 1.5 hours\, interactive workshop\, focuses on what to do before\, during and after an appointment and uses action planning to optimize people’s health. A variety of learning resources are used including information sharing\, videos\, tools and a resource manual that supports the individual with integrating the skills into their next appointment. This workshop prepares and empowers individuals to communicate more effectively with their health care provider. Ultimately\, patients are the most important members of their healthcare team. \nWhy is this important?\n\nPeople with chronic disease spend on average 12 hours a year with a health care provider. The other 364 ½ days they manage on their own.\nUpon discharge\, 1 out of 3 patients do not understand the answers to their questions and know how to manage their health condition\n\nRegister for a session directly through one of the Zoom links below: \nMay 28\, 2025\, 3:00PM – 4:30PM \nJune 23\, 2025\, 11:45AM – 1:00PM EST \nJuly 28\, 2025\, 1:00PM – 2:15PM EST
