ForwardSocial Aspects of Prescribing Medicine & How to Empower Your Patients to be Active Partners in Managing Their Care
This workshop will discuss ways that medication can be used more effectively to help people work towards their own goals. A medication trial starts with a clear understanding of the patient’s perception of the problem that is hoped might be helped by medication. It must include developing a shared understanding of what is meant by “getting better” and how a medication can help achieve this goal. And it will include a discussion of Measurement-Based Care, an approach that can empower patients by making it possible for them to track their targeted symptoms, side effects and quality of life at visits and between visits. This will help patients and their families actively work with you to optimize their care. This information can be used to make decisions about what treatments to start, when to make modifications and once remission is reached how to avoid relapse.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Connect and collaborate better with patients over a shared understanding of the problem that brought them into treatment
- Better establish the role of medication as part of the solution to this problem
- Acquire skills to target symptoms and side effects and quality of life through measurement-based care to help both patients and prescribers optimize the care.
- Decide how to modify treatment after remission
