Continuity of Care | Merck Manual Consumer Version

More on the challenges and strategies to improve continuity of care for older people: https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/old... Geriatrician Michael R. Wasserman, MD, Medical Director, Los Angeles Jewish Home, and editorial board member of The Merck Manuals discusses some of the challenges facing older patients as the number of doctors they see increases. Wasserman also offers three proactive steps older adults can take when visiting their healthcare providers: 1. Prioritize the discussion. Write a list and include health concerns. List what’s most important and hand that list right away to the clinician. This way the clinician can prioritize concerns. 2. Document medications. Share a list of the medications you’re on with your clinician at the beginning of your appointment. 3. Share goals. Write down your goals and the parts of your life that are most important to you so the provider can get to know you as a person. About The Merck Manuals: First published in 1899 as a small reference book for physicians and pharmacists, The Merck Manual grew in size and scope to become one of the world's most widely used comprehensive medical resources for professionals and consumers. As The Manual evolved, it continually expanded the reach and depth of its offerings to reflect the mission of providing the best medical information to a wide cross-section of users, including medical professionals and students, veterinarians and veterinary students, and consumers. • Merck Manual Consumer Version: http://www.MerckManuals.com/Home • Facebook for Consumers:   / merckmanualho.  . • Twitter for Consumers:   / merckmanualhome
