Patient Activation through Community Conversations (PACC)
Wednesday, May 4th 2022
7:00 PM EST - Free

PACCs are a safe place to have a discussion about being a patient, an advocate or a caregiver*
When I was asked to visit a woman in the nursing home who cried that she wanted to die, her daughter said this was not "normal" behavior. When we went through her medications, with an independent pharmacist, it turned out that her medications were causing this behavior.

How do you keep track of your medications and medical care? Do you get copies of your test results? Learn what works for others at the May 4th PACC.

No lectures, just a conversation!
Many of us end up as patients or caregivers at some point without the skills to get through the complex healthcare system. Now we can help each other.
 
What is your question and how have others handled a similar situation? 

This virtual group meets the first Wednesday of the month and participation is free.
 
Don’t expect to get medical advice here, rather learn how others might handle the same situation. Find out where you can go for help.

Learn more and register at www.PulsePACC.org
 
Join the conversation!
 
*No medical advice is given at a PACC . Everyone is welcome with questions or to share what has worked for you.
Why TakeCHARGE?

The TakeCHARGE Campaign promotes “5 Steps to Safer Health Care” so people who use the healthcare system can be better prepared.

Patient advocates are encouraged to help people prepare, and those people who are contemplating becoming patient advocates can use TakeCHARGE to help support the community in preparing. There will be a meet-and-greet for TakeCHARGE Campaign participants on the first Monday of each month from April through September to share ideas, experiences, articles and more on how they are participating in
TakeCHARGE.
The 5 Steps:
  1. Understand and Complete Your Advance Directives
  2. Keep a Record of Your Medical History and Current Medications
  3. Prepare for Doctor Visits/Make a List of Questions
  4. Prevent Infections/Ask Caregivers to Wash Their Hands
  5. Use an Advocate/Be an Advocate for Others

Like what we do? You can help. Pulse is a nonprofit 510 (c) 3 organization dedicated to raising awareness about patient safety through advocacy, education and support
All programs of Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education & Advocacy are about people who may become patients or support patients. Even if you work in healthcare, you may someday be a patient or find yourself advocating for a loved one. Because medical errors are a leading cause of death in the United States, we at Pulse recognize the need for the patient and family to take some responsibility for their own safety. For that reason, all of our programs help to prepare people to become more informed and involved!
