What is the patients role in the: partnership for health? Your part can be summarized in a few words: When you dont understand, ask; and when you do understand, take action! You should supply all the facts heshe needs in order to treat or counsel you effectively, and only you can take final responsibility for carrying out the action plan which your physician recommends. Of course, other people can be involved in this partnership for health. Your doctors office staff plays a vital support role as should other members of your family. Other resources can be utilized as needed, which include agencies of hospitals, churches, and government which exist in the community.
