4Step iCare Plan
The 4Step iCare Plan is an individualized, simple, 4-step approach to help you make difficult medical decisions. In Step 1 you will discuss your diagnosis with your doctor or other healthcare provider to gain a better understanding of your medical problems. In Step 2 you will discuss your prognosis to learn more about how it is likely to affect your future. In Step 3 you will think carefully about your personal goals and wishes. In Step 4 you and your healthcare provider will use this information to make the medical and personal choices that are best for you. The goal is to make sure that you receive the care you need and no less, and the care you want and no more.
