I
was recently at my PCP's office. I had an appt at 3:45; I checked
in by 3:45, but doctor did not come in until 4:30. So, there I
was, at a doctor's office, my attention on my health... thought occured:
- how can we leverage this into constructive time?
- instead of magazines, should there be an interactive activity where patient gets useful information?
I
have seen offices with TV with health channel... does anyone know
what impact this types of program has had in the past?
What am I thinking of? May be patient can look at their data (labs etc) and see what it means (diabetes control, hypertension control etc... may be plotted in a graph). It may show what "screening" they should be having at this stage. May be we can incorporate patient education sheet with them so they can print them.
This could actually be a business venture. Thoughts? Comments?
