Item Description

Two books written and signed by author Nancy Finn plus a talk to your social, work or religious group:

e-Patients Live Longer, The Complete Guide to Managing Health Care Using Technology and Digital Communication in Medical Practice. 

 

Most people, when asked, would say that healthcare is a top priority. However, given the routines of daily life, planning and preparing for health issues are secondary to other pressures until there is a serious health concern to address. E-Patients Live Longer places, front and center, how to prepare so that you are an educated and empowered consumer before you have a serious health issue.

Author Nancy Finn will explain what it is like to be an e-patient who uses electronic communication technology, including email, patient portals, the Internet, and wireless mobile devices: smartphones and smartpads, to communicate with your healthcare team, have the information you need readily available and know where to go to get answers and assistance. The book helps you understand digital health records and other information tools to ensure that your personal health information is always right there in your computer, smartphone or smartpad no matter where or when you might need care. The book wades through the maze of online resources and suggests the best choices to find answers to your healthcare questions and to engage with other patients in online communities and social networking sites.
