The Health Care System offers two publications that outline the steps necessary to be your own patient advocate and take responsibility for getting the quality health care you need and deserve.
How to Receive the Best Health Care for You and Your Family details a five-part strategy for getting the best care from doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals:
- How to manage your medical team.
- How to communicate effectively in a health care setting.
- What “gold-standard health care” means, and how to strive for it.
- How to prevent medical errors.
- How to use a personal journal to track your health history.
The second publication, Your Personal Health Care Journal, makes it easy to record and track important personal health information. The journal includes phone numbers and websites of health care organizations, definitions of commonly used medical terms, and much more.
The retail price for both publications together is $29.95. Momentum Wellness participants are entitled to a $5 discount. For more information and to order your books, go to The Health Care System website and enter Promotion Code "Genworth."
