The question “What matters to me?” (WMTM) allows patients to tell physicians and other care providers about their interests, values, and preferences, as full humans, not just recipients of care. This philosophy is particularly hard for providers to follow during consultations lasting only 10 to15 minutes.
Dr. Sosena Kebede and I have designed a questionnaire to enable us to learn more about what our patients think about this issue. This is a work in progress. If you want to see and fill out our questionnaire please access this link.
WMTM has been looked at from a different perspective in Scotland and British Columbia. Those programs can be accessed at: Download What Matters To Me Programs
