Health Literacy – Taking Control of Your Health

This is the ability to understand and appropriately use information to make the right decisions regarding your health. But there are times that this can be hard to do and sort through all the information and understand the overwhelming amount of information at your disposal for any given time.

 

We have some tips to share:  


#1. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Doctors don’t expect patients to understand everything right off the bat. If you find that you are confused about something or the information given to you, there's no shame in clarifying and asking your healthcare provider to elaborate and further explain what they are talking about. They should be happy to help you figure out the information given to you.  


#2. Say what you have learned back to your healthcare provider. They will be able to confirm that what you know is accurate and give you additional information if necessary.

 

#3. Review and go over the home care activity instructions with your provider. This can include exercise, supplements, prescriptions, etc. That you will be doing once you leave your appointment. When going over these things, make sure to ask any questions that come up, so there is no confusion once you leave.
