Vulnerabilities – who is at risk of having their lives disrupted by medical care?Those
Posted: September 9, 2009 Filed under: MDM in practice, Reference material, Reflections on MDM, Research on MDM 1 Comment »When discussing who is at risk of being burdened by treatments, we have come up with a list…we are wondering what other groups people can think of:
- Individuals with limited familial or social support
- Individuals with poor overall or health literacy
- Individuals with many chronic conditions
- Individuals with treatments that require constant attention, e.g., implanted devices that call attention to themselves throughout the day, pills that need to be taken several times per day
- Individuals who travel far for healthcare
- Individuals who have to wait for healthcare: to park, in line, at the office
- Individuals who have tenuous health insurance who need to spend time arguing with insurance
Who else is in your list?
