Often this is because they have another patient waiting to see them. This is concerning because it is sometimes in that informal conversation where doctors find that piece of information that brings out the full picture of what is really going on medically. Because of this communication problem, we decided to design a product that would make health care visits more efficient. By applying time management principles to health care information management, we created the P.H.O. Personal Health Organizer. The P.H.O. allows you to efficiently interact with your health care provider and empowers you to store your health information so it will be at your fingertips when you or your doctor needs it the next time.
Doctors are limited to what they can do.
To get the most out of life, you must become more involved in your health care. Many studies have shown that when people have copies of their own health information, their health care is improved. This often happens. Even more often, medical terms go in one ear and out the other. That's because medical language, like any foreign language, is unfamiliar.
