Medical professionals have very limited time to gather important information during medical appointments. FCIC’s My Health Report has been designed with feedback from family physicians to help individuals and family caregivers give relevant health information as efficiently as possible. By completing this information and sharing it with your doctor, it will help him/her determine why you are feeling sick. It also helps to free up more time for communication, and discussion of what treatment options are available to address your health issue. Elizabeth Perkins would welcome any feedback or comments regarding My Health Report at eperkins@usf.edu.

Al completar esta información y compartirla con su médico, le ayudará a determinar por qué se siente enfermo. Esto también ayudará a liberar más tiempo para la comunicación y la discusión de las opciones de tratamiento disponibles para abordar su problema de salud.
