Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC)
Questions to ask your doctor about patient-centered care
Sample questions:
- What type of information will you provide to me about my condition and treatment options?
- Will you provide me with decision aids that will help me to make the best individualized care decisions?
- Am I able to access a patient portal to help me manage my personal health information?
- Am I able to update and contribute to the information in the patient portal or just review it?
- Am I able to review the doctor’s notes in my record? Do I have the option of adding my own information and perspectives into my record for the doctor to read and review?
- When my care team meets to discuss my plan of care, will I be invited to participate in those discussions?
- Is there a way for me to securely send questions/messages to my doctor in advance of (or outside of) a scheduled appointment?
