New AHRQ Question Builder App Helps Patients Maximize Time with Clinicians

AHRQ today released a new mobile app to help patients be more engaged in their own healthcare and to help make office visits more efficient.  The Question Builder app, available at no charge on iTunes and Google Play, helps patients prepare and organize questions and other helpful information ahead of time and puts that information at their fingertips, as part of an e-mail or calendar appointment that allows for note-taking, during medical visits. The Question Builder app has a host of other features. For instance, it integrates with a phone’s camera so that users can snap a photo of useful visual information such as an insurance card, a pill bottle, or even a skin rash. Find out more about the new app here.
