A recent study supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) found that uninvolved and uninformed patients are less likely to accept the doctor’s choice of treatment and less likely to do what they need to do to make the treatment work. The single most important way you can stay healthy is to be an active member of your health care team. That means taking part in every decision about your health care. Research shows that patients who are more involved with their care tend to get better results. For more helpful tips and to find out what works best, download a copy of the AHRQ Patient Fact Sheet.
