After treatment
Agree on what success means
Choose a meaningful goal such as less pain, improved comfort, function, confidence or relationship wellbeing.
Monitor benefit and safety
Record changes, side effects, medicine use and any new physical or emotional concern.
Review with the clinician
Use a clinician-set review point to continue, adjust, stop or add another specialty.
Escalate unexpected symptoms
Contact the treating clinician promptly for significant pain, bleeding, swelling, allergic symptoms, worsening mood or another unexpected reaction.
Follow-up checks benefit, safety and whether the care plan still fits the person's goals.
