Jane
brings her life long passion of advocating for patients
to this new arena. Moving away from the bedside and
confines of hospitals, she helps to decipher the
medical jargon for you and your loved ones. RNs
To Go has the medical knowledge to know what
targeted questions to ask about your health and
treatment options. We are also aware of how
various diseases progress and many of the current
treatments being used. Thus we can ask about
options and what lies ahead for you. Helping you
to avoid mistakes now that can affect your health and
progress later on.
- Get all your questions asked, answered-and understood-
before you leave the office. We will also ask more
targeted, BIG picture questions about your diagnosis and
care-from a medical standpoint-should the need arise
- Learn what options are available
- Maximize the short time you have with the doctor
- Receive a written summary of the entire appointment,
to be used as a reference guide and to share with loved
ones
At this time, RNs To Go offers this
valuable service within Northeast Wisconsin (Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, plus the counties of Calumet, Outagamie, Brown and Winnebago).
Our mission is to ensure every patient receives optimal medical care while making the most of any time spent in the office of any medical provider. You can be a more savvy and knowledgeable consumer. We want each patient to leave these appointments confident that any question he or she had has been asked, answered, and understood. We also want to be certain that each patient goes home armed with a full comprehension of an agreed upon plan of care--follow up needs and wants, referrals, therapies, tests, medications, and whatever else may be involved--to treat and, we hope, improve his or her state of health.
One of our main goals is to end the thick cloud of confusion in the minds of so
many patients--and their families--when it comes to
their medical care.
A landmark Rand Health study in 2003 "shattered the
widely held perception that health care quality is not a
problem in the US. In reality, the study found, that
many people are not receiving appropriate care". This
frightening and stunning finding has not changed in the
3 years since that study was completed. In fact, with
all the latest changes in the delivery of our
healthcare, this reality has only worsened. RNs To
Go wants to change that. We want to optimally
enhance your medical care and ensure that you get the
appropriate treatments you need.
