Throughout our project, Improving Communication with CHD Families, our team centered our focus on the communicators, the medical personnel, which includes doctors, nurses, and social workers. We decided that it’s important for communicators to make it more convenient and easier for parents to get involved in their child’s care. I also think that it’s significant for parents to do their part to become more engaged in their child’s care, as well.
So, I’ve created an infographic that compiles some of the most important tips to become an engaged patient, whether it includes CHD parents or the broader group, patients. Some of these tips have been shared by other empowered patients on US News Health.
