Overview:

Marty Minniti discusses the following changes that consumers will need to make and how to use new tools to assist them in taking good care of themselves.

Step 1: The “new normal” in healthcare  requires each individual to know more and act more as a consumer in regard to health care and your health.

Step 2: Key information at all times- designate a primary family member who knows and has access to all your health information and develop a plan to improve 1% per day.

Step 3: Understand what’s your role vs. your doctor- doctors can’t do it all .  Medicine is 25% of overall improvements in health- daily choices  you control and small steps improve health for the long run.  The other 75% is up to you!

Step 4: Keep it simple- find what works for you.

3 Key Points:

  1. Patient Engagement–taking responsibility and control of your health- is important to getting good outcomes.
  2. Patient Engagement is important to attaining your health goals and your good health is important to good family , community and employer.
  3. There are many options for new and improved tools and gadgets that you can use to support your mission to have the best health that you can get with a combination of using these tools and working with your healthcare team.
