Description

The health care arena has changed from the old days of just checking a patient into a facility for a illness or accident and leaving them to be cared for by the providers. Health care is what you choose to invest into it. Any person admitted into any type of health care facility needs a PATIENT ADVOCATE to represent and protect them, especially our elderly patient population. The most important keys are communication with the staff at the facility and the knowledge of the advocate you choose to represent you. This book expresses vital tips recommended to be considered to prevent potential harm to any patient, especially the elderly. This book gives important information you should be armed with and reasons you should select a consultant pharmacist to represent you or your loved one. It also describes actual scenarios that have happened to actual patients and how to handle problems before you are discharged or transferred from any type of health care facility.
