2021-01-20 07:00:00 2021-01-20 08:30:00 America/Vancouver How to Advocate for yourself in our Medical System The complexity of the healthcare system can often prove overwhelming for patients. Improved health literacy, or your medical insights, are correlated with better health outcomes for patients. Not feeling heard or not understanding our options for the course of care can leave individuals disenfranchised and unmotivated to participate in their own healthcare decisions. Visits with healthcare providers may be rushed, or miscommunications may prevent you from reaching your optimal health. Thankfully we can re-engage with our health and make informed decisions that take your values into account using simple strategies and tools to get the most out of your doctors' visits. We will cover how you can identify health goals and concerns, effectively communicate with medical professionals to ensure your needs are heard, what your rights are when providing consent, and finally how you can improve outcomes by complying with treatments recommended. Don’t leave your healthcare to chance- take back your power and become your strongest advocate for health.
