Why the ORGANIZER?

The ORGANIZER by NaviMaze® puts the power of knowledge in the hands of the patient and caregiver. The Commonwealth Fund, an organization devoted to improving the health system, points out that medical errors, lack of coordination, and poor physician-patient communication are pervasive in health systems.

In fact, Commonwealth Fund discovered that 25% of U.S. patients with health problems experienced a medical or drug error and half of those experiencing the errors said it caused serious health consequences. "Frequent error, miscommunication, and wasted resources from duplicate tests, delays, and conflicting information are common problems in the health systems of all the countries studied," said Karen Davis, president of The Commonwealth Fund.

According to the Commonwealth Fund:

• Three of 10 respondents in the U.S. (31%) said they left a doctor's office without getting important questions answered
• Two of five (39%) U.S. respondents said they did not follow a doctor's advice because they didn’t agree with the doctor's recommendations or the advice was too difficult to follow.
• A surprisingly high proportion of adults with health problems—half of those in the U.S reported their regular doctor doesn't ask for their ideas and opinions about treatment and care.

The ORGANIZER helps you navigate the maze of health care. The Organizer helps everyone stay connected as far as treatment options, possible side effects and prognoses. Because you are connected, the ORGANIZER also gives you peace of mind regarding the treatment plan for your loved one.
