The Patient Better Academy is where you learn the essential skills to successfully navigate the healthcare system—just like how children go to school to prepare for adulthood, professionals train before starting a job, or parents seek guidance to raise children. Managing your health is no different. The Academy equips you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take control of your care, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure you’re prepared for every step of your healthcare journey. It’s about empowering you to be proactive and informed, so you can achieve the best outcomes for yourself or your loved ones.
You may be a qualified candidate for the Patient Better Academy if you or your family members have at least a 6th-grade English literacy level and possess the desire to actively manage your healthcare. The program employs Meaningful Learning techniques, designed to meet you where you are in your healthcare proficiency and guide you as far as you wish to go. If you are committed to taking control of your healthcare journey, Patient Better’s Program can provide you with the essential knowledge and tools to do so effectively.
Before the pandemic, many people became increasingly reliant on their physician’s electronic records to manage their care, trusting that everything was handled for them. But when the pandemic hit, access to those records became limited—appointments were delayed, diagnoses were missed, and care plans were incomplete. Inadequate or delayed treatment led to complications that could have been prevented with better personal care management. By managing your care now, you can ensure you’re prepared, stay informed, and take proactive steps to avoid delays, incomplete care, and the ripple effects of poor treatment. Taking control means securing your health no matter what challenges arise.
The Patient Better Academy provides a certificate upon completion to signify to healthcare professionals that you are equipped to actively participate in your medical care. Until now, patients, families, and informal caregivers have lacked a way to demonstrate their healthcare literacy level to physicians.
This certification serves several important purposes:
- Recognition of Healthcare Literacy: It indicates that you have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills to manage your healthcare effectively.
- Informed Advocacy: It shows that you are prepared to participate in medical appointments as an informed advocate, enhancing communication with your healthcare providers.
- Medical Record Management: It certifies that you understand how to manage and organize your medical records, ensuring that your healthcare team has access to accurate and up-to-date information.
- Adherence to Treatment Plans: It demonstrates that you are equipped to follow treatment plans accurately, which is crucial for achieving the best health outcomes.
- Navigation of the Healthcare System: It signifies that you can effectively navigate the healthcare system, including understanding insurance, accessing necessary services, and coordinating care.
- Effective Communication: It ensures that you can communicate effectively with your healthcare team, making you an integral part of your healthcare management.
The certificate from the Patient Better Academy not only validates your efforts but also helps bridge the gap between you and your healthcare providers, leading to more collaborative and effective care.
