What is this article about?

It’s 9:30 in the morning and I’m about to see my second patient of the day. Before welcoming her into the consultation room, I browse her medical history and note another unfilled box. Sadly, this is not my first encounter with this scenario, and each time, it becomes increasingly more perplexing. I begin with the essentials: medication, breathing problems, followed by a long list of tick boxes. Before I even ask the patient to answer the blank box, I already know what her response will be.

I felt this was more of a factual representation or example of a health assessment where pt engagement & willingness to adhere to treatment plans is a barrier. I felt there were no learnings as there were no suggestions on how to overcome these perceived pt barriers.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
