Support Patient Self-management
Get Ready
-- First, learn more about patient self-management support. Next, select a project team and talk to others in the practice.
Create a Plan
-- Hold the first team meeting and develop a work plan.
Educate and Experiment
-- After your team learns about self-management support techniques and tools, try them with a small number of patients, evaluate and modify, and try again. You'll determine what works best in your practice.
Establish a Workflow
-- Once you know what works best, modify your workflow and shift roles and responsibilities to make room for self-management support.
Expand and Sustain
-- Eventually, patient self-management support will become "usual care" in your practice.
Learn effective techniques for helping patients manage their health and motivate your patients to change.
