According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) study they report "patients who have a clear understanding of their after-hospital care instructions, including how to take their medicines and when to make follow-up appointments, are 30% less likely to be re-admitted or visit the emergency department than patients who don't."
So if patients want to reduce the number of hospital and emergency room visits and save money - they need to be in charge of their health!
How do you take charge of your health? Document or chart your health. Write it down! Keep a record of your questions, symptoms, tests and more. This record will help remind you and your family members of the details when they're needed most.
You can save money! You can reduce the number of hospital and emergency room visits.
