You & Quality Healthcare

Doctor

 

Quality health care happens when people take an active role in their own care, becoming partners with their doctor to create a more effective, trusting relationship that helps them stay healthy or determine the right care when they need it.

 

Regardless of what kind of relationship they have with their doctor, there is a lot that people can do on their own to manage their own heath, like watching what they eat, getting exercise, and limiting stress.

 

People can improve their care by learning more about their doctors and their own conditions – asking questions, sharing their medical history, making sure they understand their doctor's recommendations, and taking the necessary steps to feel better sooner.

 
Patients can start being active participants in their healthcare by understanding what quality is and how to find the right doctor.
