Ask Me 3
Patients can be encouraged to ask these three questions at the end of any health consultation:
- What is my main problem?
- What do I need to do?
- Why is it important for me to do this?
Information on the the Ask Me 3 technique can be found here.
There are some doubts as to the effectiveness of this approach when Ask Me 3 is used as a standalone tool. Many resources suggest using these three questions with other techniques, such as the teach-back method, which you will come to later this week.
What are in your opinion the advantages and disadvantages of the Ask Me 3 approach?
