About Patient Mind Inc.

Patient Mind Inc., a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization, was founded in September 2017 on the basis of providing education to patients and providers to improve dialogue during healthcare visits. The average face-time with a physician or nurse practitioner in Primary Care is less than eight minutes. These eight minutes are extremely important for the patient, made up of a physical exam, multiple questions, a diagnosis, and a proposed treatment plan. When patients are educated prior to this interaction, they are more likely to understand and adhere to the prescribed treatment plan. The patient is also more prepared to discuss symptoms and their condition with confidence. This enables physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses to get a better picture of the patient condition, which sets the groundwork for better treatment plans.

Are patients prepared for their prescribed treatment plans?
What about mental health? Coinciding with pain, or independent, are patients prepared?

When patients understand the condition and understand management techniques, they start to see the bigger picture. The mind and the body are connected, and living with a condition is a full time job. When the patient has the tools for that job, management can become second nature.
