Work with your healthcare Professional

Working effectively with healthcare professionals involves open, honest communication, being an active partner in decision-making, preparing for appointments by writing down questions, and building a relationship based on trust and mutual respect to ensure you get the best, most personalized care.

Key steps include sharing your full medical history, asking clarifying questions, bringing a supporter if needed, and understanding your treatment plan and next steps. This includes when using various digital tools and technologies to improve communication, access to care, and the management of health information.
