Ask Me 3: Good Questions for Your Good Health
Institute for Healthcare Improvement / National Patient Safety Foundation
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Ask Me 3® is an educational program that encourages patients and families to ask three specific questions of their providers to better understand their health conditions and what they need to do to stay healthy.
- What is my main problem?
- What do I need to do?
- Why is it important for me to do this?
Designed by health literacy experts, Ask Me 3 is intended to help patients become more active members of their health care team, and provide a critical platform to improve communications between patients, families, and health care professionals.
