Horn Promotes Patient Safety through the “Ask Me 3” Program



Look for these cards in your
Provider's Office or Patient Room

Horn Memorial Hospital and Horn Physicians Clinic are actively practicing and promoting the education program “Ask Me 3™” to improve the safety of patients.  Ask Me 3™ is a patient education program designed to promote communication between health care providers and patients in order to improve health outcomes. The program encourages patients to understand the answers to three questions:

1. What is my main problem?
2. What do I need to do?
3. Why is it important for me to do this?

“We are encouraging patients to ask their providers these three simple but essential questions in every health care interaction. Likewise, providers should always encourage their patients to understand the answers to these three questions,” comments Heather Gann, Quality Services Director.  “Studies show that people who understand health instructions make fewer mistakes when they take their medicine or prepare for a medical procedure. They may also get well sooner or be able to better manage a chronic health condition,” states Gann.



Take an active role in your health. 

Ask questions, you won’t regret it.
