Introduction of the Brochure

The brochure that was selected for this assignment focuses on speaking up: at the doctor’s office. The brochure encourages the patients to speak up their concerns or views when they seek medical attention in the doctor’s office. The aim of the video in the brochure is to empower patients to take responsibility for their health. The titled of the brochure is, SpeakUp: At the Doctor’s Office. The brochure was published five years ago. The brochure targets patients, the general population and healthcare providers. The brochure educates the patients and the general population about the importance of speaking up during a visit to a doctor’s office. It is expected that some patient might feel anxious during their visits to the doctors. The anxiety makes it difficult for them to ask any questions that relate to their health. Due to this, the brochure encourages the patients to develop a list of questions to ask their providers before visiting hospitals. The video also targets healthcare providers. It raises the need for active patient involvement in the provision of care. This can be seen from the need for the doctors and nurses to ask patients to repeat the things they have learned about the care that they need (The Joint Commission, n.d.).

ce. One of them is the need for the patients to speak up their views or concerns during a visit to the doctor’s office. The brochure encourages the patients and the general population to express themselves without fear in seeking information on the care that is provided to them. The brochure also explored the ways in which the patients can speak up in the doctor’s office. One of them is coming up with a list of things that they would wish to ask concerning their health problem. The brochure revealed that having a written list enables the patient to have confidence in asking their doctors any relevant questions related to their health.

Evaluation of the Brochure

A number of things were done well in the brochure. The first one is the organization of the information. The presentation started from what that audience knows to unknown. The use of this approach ensured that the audience understands the importance of the topic of presentation. The second thing that was done well in the brochure is the clarity of the language that was used. The language used is simple and easy to understand. The last thing that was done well is the emphasis on the patients taking responsibility for their health. The presentation emphasized the need for the patients seeking adequate information about the care that they receive. Through it, enhanced outcomes of care are achieved due to patient satisfaction and empowerment with care. One thing that could have been improved is providing statistics of adverse events that occur due to patients not speaking up at the doctor’s office. The statistics would have strengthened the patient’s understanding of the importance of speaking up and seeking clarifications during their hospital visits.

The topic of speaking up on the use at the doctor’s office interested me because of a number of reasons. Firstly, the provision of healthcare aims at ensuring that the needs of the patients are met. The needs not only encompass those related to the health problem but also the perceived social and emotional impacts of the disease. It therefore implies that patients should be encouraged to express their health needs and other factors that influence their response to treatment during their hospital visits (McMillan, Stanga & Van Sell, 2018). The brochure also interested me because encouraging patients to speak up during their visits to the hospital or doctor’s office promotes safety of care that is given to them. Speaking up at the d
