At GreenPear Health, we concentrate on patient education, empowerment and providing you the tools to better control and organize your medical history profile. The GreenPear Medical Health Organizer allows the patient (or family member) to assemble and chart all health related information in one place.
Each Personal Medical Records Binder contains numerous health forms, and with the easy addition of Mix & Match Logs, the patient is equipped to effectively manage any medical issues. By making this important health investment, you are on your way to becoming a healthier and more savvy healthcare consumer.
- Ask yourself:
- Do you ever feel that you and your doctor aren’t communicating effectively?
- Do you fully understand what your doctor says?
- Do you forget to ask important questions?
- Do you forget to mention symptoms you are experiencing?
Patients who are able to take charge of their health issues and are educated regarding their care are more likely to experience healthier medical outcomes and greater satisfaction with their health care providers. Patients that successfully communicate with their physicians are also more likely to understand their treatments and adhere to medication regimens.
GreenPear Health Organizers are designed to reduce stress by allowing patients to have all medical data compiled into a personal health binder and allow accurate communication. The Organizers are extremely thorough and offer both convenience and peace of mind during a usually stressful time. The unique Health Action Plans further strengthen the patient/physician relationship and allow shared decision making.
An average doctor visit lasts between 9 to 16 minutes and studies have shown doctors interrupt patients approximately 18 seconds into the conversation. Medical misdiagnosis cases have increased enormously largely due to a lack of continuity of care among health providers and ineffective communication. Medical records are not always consistent and physicians frequently do not have a patient’s complete medical history.
Increased knowledge and preparation lead to better making strategies. Patient must be active, engaged participants in their healthcare management and a strong advocate for their own wellbeing.
