Our Joint Decisions refers to Professional Health Organizations as organizations, focused on orthopedics, that provide professional health support, help & service to their members. In most cases these members are doctors, nurses & other medical team staff. Most have very good web sites for education, training, etc. for their members & patients.

Some of these web sites do have specific areas for patient education, since they know the patient, as the end-user, is vital to the success of their members. These web sites do provide excellent education on diagnosis & prognosis for patients.

Our Joint Decisions role with Professional Health Organizations is to provide the Patient's Perspective & complement their education with psychological & inspirational motivation to insure patients achieve pain-free mobility & a higher quality of life.

Professional Health Organizations' main customer base are doctors and medical clinics. Our Joint Decisions' role as a Patient Advocate is to provide insight and feedback on patient's needs that need to be addressed. The patient is the end-user, and is integral for the success of any doctor, medical clinic, and hospital. We simply want to insure the voice of the end-user, the patient, is being heard.

Most of the Professional Health Organizations have National Meetings every year. Our Joint Decisions goal is to offer our motivational speaking at these meetings to provide their members with the Patient's Perspective. The doctors, their teams & all health professionals strive to constantly improve the success of their services to the patients. Taking a closer look at how to motivate the patients to take ownership for their success through the CORE ROADS TO LIFE can add great value to these organizations' members.
