“The Baton” is a pictorial representation of the patient’s “plan of care and the treatment plan,” which is the instrument through which responsibility for a patient’s health care is transferred to the patient. Framed copies hang in the waiting room of SETMA II and will soon hang in all public places throughout SETMA’s clinics. A poster copy will be hung in every examination room. The poster declares:
Firmly in the providers hand
--The baton – the care and treatment plan
Must be confidently and securely grasped by the patient,
If change is to make a difference
8,760 hours a year.
