Follow My Health Post 3

In many ways, it’s what happens when you are away from your doctor’s office that determines how health you will be and how quickly you get better when you are ill. How many times have you thought only after you left an appointment that you did not understand your doctor’s recommendations? We’ve all had times when new questions occurred to us only after an appointment was finished.

In a recent study, less than half of all patients said that they always understood their doctors’ explanation. And, studies show that patients forget 40 to 80% of medical information is forgotten immediately after a visit. But, understanding medical information is vital and strongly connected with better patient outcomes. Having the right information on hand can help ease any worries and help you make the best decisions for your health.

Answers When You Need Them

In the past, patients would need to wait until their next appointment or hope that the doctor or a nurse practitioner could call back to answer questions over the phone. This can be time consuming and can keep patients from reaching out to get the knowledge that would help them make the most well-informed decisions.

With Follow My Health, you can ask your doctor questions online, any time day or night. Simply send a secure message about your exams, your medications or any other concerns. You’ll get an email back with the answers you need.
