The third and final component to the Patient Better Self-Managing Program(TM). This book focuses on relationship building and self-managing care for both in-person and virtual medical office visits.
Synopsis
Gone
are the days when a
physician
would come to your home to
check
on your medical needs. Those
house calls
were the optimal solution for personalized attention delivered from the comfort and convenience of home. When a health professional came to your home, you were
relieved
of the stress of dressing for the appointment, commuting, and waiting with and on others for treatment.
Today, the traditional house call has almost become extinct, but with
virtual healthcare
medical professionals can visit you at home and deliver the
same quality
of service as a face-to-face medical appointment. With remote medical technology, all you need is an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to get a consultation, receive a
diagnosis
, and get prescriptions, with
extended service
hours to work around your schedule. Thus, you can take better care of your condition in a fraction of time as a face-to-face appointment.
Patient Better:
The Remote Companion for Self-Health Management supplies you and your
caregiving team
with the personal medical management skills needed to participate in
long-distance care
. Telemedicine provides an affordable alternative to an in-person medical office visit and
expands
the reach of providers' services to the undeserved, the disabled, and those who live in
rural areas
. With this addition to Patient Better's program, we'll take your
self-managing skills
to the next level and make collaborating in-person and
virtual medical care
possible.
Patient Better
empowers
the healthcare industry by acquiring an
additional resource
into the mix of those who deliver care. Patient Better
preforms
this by providing the
education
(for both in-person and virtual medical office visits) that focuses on improving the patient's and informal caregiver's ability to manage care,
heighten
health literacy skills,
improve
communication, and supplies them with the
knowledge
needed to properly create and organize their
health story
in a way that providers can quickly and easily obtain the relevant information.
