Defining Attributes

Definition

The next few questions are about care plans. A care plan (or plan of care) is a written agreement between you and your health care professionals detailing the type of care you receive over an extended period of time and how this care will be given, also including what you will do yourself. Not everybody has a care plan. Please respond in relation to your experience of care and treatment by your primary care provider. In the past 12 months, has a health care professional reviewed with you all medications you take? (1=Yes; 2=No; 3=not sure)
