The initial consultation is a comprehensive review of your health history and a goal setting session that generally takes one to two hours. The complexity of your situation and the scope of your goals will determine the extent of your needs for education and support. Most individuals require two to three hours of professional services following their initial consultation. Individuals with complex acute or chronic illnesses may utilize services on a reoccurring basis with monthly visits to review changes in conditions and treatments. The plan for utilization of the RN Patient Advocate is discussed and mutually agreed upon at the initial consultation and at each subsequent meeting.
RN Patient Advocates collaborate with other health care providers. We work with you and your doctors. We facilitate communication between health care providers to ensure there are no gaps in your care. We assist your physician by ensuring you understand proposed treatment plans. This helps decrease your fears and concerns, resulting in greater compliance and better outcomes.
Our goal is to enable better outcomes through individualized advocacy. A major objective of our consultation is training you through education to communicate more effectively with your health care providers. You should leave your physician appointments confident that you were your best advocate. You need to understand your choices and be prepared to work with your physicians in order to achieve wellness.
