Congratulations to Barb Fore!
Reason for Recognition? Hello! Working in CC today and just wanting to brighten some days with a patient comment I received regarding Ms. Barb!
For some background, years back, patient had an issue with poorly managed blood pressure, ultimately resulting in a stroke. His blood pressure was managed well for 3 years, however, recently, his blood pressure started to increase again. He was in to see Barb for a blood pressure check where she went through patient’s history/medications with him and with further investigation, found that he was taking 1 less tablet of his blood pressure medication than he should have been. Patient stated that this was most likely due to his own confusion from his past stroke.
He states that since he is now taking the correct prescription, he is doing “much better” and has “peace of mind.” He credits Barb with preventing him from having another stroke all because she took time with him and identified the problem correctly.
SO cool! And what an excellent reminder to take time to walk through patient’s medication list with them with every applicable telephone visit/ and every office visit!
Way to go Barb!!
