PHYSICIANS
Patients rely on physician for so much and in many cases a physician’s time is limited. Some patients may not accurately report health concerns or their health history. After a visit with a physician, a patient may misinterpret key aspects of the physician’s orders or forget all or most of the care instructions. A Scutta Advocacy Group Nurse Advocate will significantly increase the probability that a patient will follow a physician’s orders as intended.
