Questions you should ask health professionals
During September 2006 we broadcast a special report, Facing the evidence. This two-part series looked at the importance of asking health professionals for evidence based healthcare. Karen Carey-Hazell, consumer advocate, suggested asking your healthcare provider the following three questions:
Question 1: What are my treatment options?
Question 2: What are the possible outcomes of those options?
Question 3: How likely is each of the outcomes to occur?
Thanks to Karen Carey-Hazell.
