Misinformation Rx
“ My Hippocratic oath is ‘do no harm’ ”
Misinformation is adversely affecting people’s health and is a growing challenge for practitioners. It’s another war we are fighting in addition to the virus itself. Bringing medical providers into the fight can be a vital step to guiding patients away from medical misinformation.
Fighting Misinformation
Designed for providers across the spectrum of care, MisinfoRx offers an overview of the mechanics of medical misinformation and dives deep into the factors that make individuals susceptible to its impacts. Grounded in the science of misinformation, the toolkit provides strategies for addressing patient-held misinformation in clinical settings.
In the “Three C” approach, providers are encouraged to practice empathy, employ curiosity, and acknowledge resource constraints through compassionate conversations oriented towards patient-provider relationships built on trust and supporting the health and wellbeing of patients.
