medical records increase patient safety, save time and place access to your medical history in one place.
• Which continuing care facilities are used? You’ll want to know what hospitals, surgical facilities, or diagnostic facilities the providers use and what is available to you. Make sure the locations are convenient for you and your family members.
• Is your physician board-certified or board eligible?
• You may want to find out more about your doctor: Call your state licensing board or go online to learn about any registered complaints or disciplinary actions taken against any provider you are considering.
It is best to choose a primary care provider before you or your family needs one. Based on what is important to you, ask family, friends and co-workers for references. Be sure to consider things such as communication style and whether you need a physician experienced in treating a particular chronic condition such as diabetes. Do some research and take your time in choosing a provider that is right for you. H
