Improve patient care with this one simple step

Understanding what truly matters to patients can transform their healthcare journey.

Start with the personal health inventory, a tool we've adapted from the Veterans administration for broader use, including oncology settings.

It takes less than 30 minutes and fits perfectly into the intake process.

By discussing their priorities, we help patients engage in their care, focusing on sleep, nutrition, activity, and social support.

This approach not only enhances their quality of life but also mitigates side effects and improves outcomes.

How do you prioritize patient engagement in your practice?
