“the first patient to complete HowsYourHealth
was seen today. I picked up the fact that he'd never
received pneumovax and directly addressed his
confidence in managing his own condition.
Interestingly his lack of confidence seemed to
relate largely to the fact that he has an implanted
defibrillator made by a company that has had a
number of recalls. His cardiologist kept blowing him
off about this topic. I pulled out an appropriate
article and noted the relatively small absolute risk
reduction from the device in his circumstances. I
also used the manufacturer's website to reassure him
that his
model had not been recalled. He left much more
confident.
I don't think the visit would have gone the same
way without HowsYourHealth. So thus far I am 1 for
1.” |
