Materials
  • Office Visit Culture

    It is important that patients are prepared for a medical visit. Patients should know what to expect in order to make the best use of the office visit time. The office visit culture documents are ideal to use as posters and/or handouts in exam rooms and waiting rooms. They are also provided as handouts at check-out.

  • Consistent Messaging Framework

    Patients seek care at many different provider sites. It is important that patients understand how to navigate through the complicated health care system. Providing patients with consistent messages about healthcare is important (ED utilization, primary care medical home etc). This framework can be used across collaborative partners to align consistent messaging to patients about topics that are important to partner sites.
