The simple act of writing down a diagnosis, a medication, or procedure can help patients get the info they need to make better health care decisions. Info Rx Pads make it easy!
Research has shown that patients recall only a fraction of what was discussed during an appointment with their health care provider. Library Staff often spend extra time with patients and family members who don't know what their actual diagnosis is, much less how to spell it. The Info Rx program seeks to save the valuable time of all involved.
Benefits of the Information Rx program :
* Helps improve patient communication
* Encourages compliance
* Reduces the number of poor quality internet searches patients sometimes do on their own
* Saves valuable TIME! (for medical staff, patient, and library staff)
* Empowers patients
* Enhances the quality and outcome of the interaction during an office visit and after the patient returns home.
For patients without ready access to the internet, Affinity's Professional Librarians can provide internet access and any needed instruction for finding health information. We have both the tools and the expertise to refer patients to accurate and trustworthy health information.
