1 Advancing Skills in the Delivery of Personalized, Proactive, Patient-Driven Walking the Circle of Health: How Are You Doing? Clinical Tool This document has been written for clinicians. The content was developed by the Integrative Medicine Program, Department of Family Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health in cooperation with Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, under contract to the Office of Patient Centered and Cultural Transformation, Veterans Health Administration. Information is organized according to the diagram above, the Components of Proactive Health and Well-Being. While conventional treatments may be covered to some degree, the focus is on other areas of Whole Health that are less likely to be covered elsewhere and may be less familiar to most readers. There is no intention to dismiss what conventional care has to offer. Rather, you are encouraged to learn more about other approaches and how they may be used to complement conventional care. The ultimate decision to use a given approach should be based on many factors, including patient preferences, clinician comfort level, efficacy data, safety, and accessibility. No one approach is right for everyone; personalizing care is of fundamental importance.
2 WHOLE HEALTH: CHANGE THE CONVERSTAION Walking the Circle of Health: How Are You Doing? Clinical Tool This survey is designed to get you thinking about how you take care of yourself in terms of the different Components of Proactive Health and Well-Being (the items on the Circle of Health). Definitions of Whole Health vary from person to person; this survey will help you define it for yourself in greater depth. Keep these general questions in mind as you work your way through the questions: 1. What are you doing well? What are your assets when it comes to your health? 2. Where would you like to make improvements? 3. Are there any areas that had not occurred to you were part of Whole Health? 4. Are there areas not covered here that you think should be? This questionnaire covers many areas of health and wellbeing, but it is by no means comprehensive. It takes about 20 minutes to complete. Note that there is a Mindful Awareness Moment at the end of this clinical tool as well. Review the following questions, and put a check mark next to the questions where the answer is yes.

7 Working with Your Responses WHOLE HEALTH: CHANGE THE CONVERSATION Take a moment to go back over your responses for each section: 1. Which sections had the most check marks? 2. If you were to choose 3 areas to be your health priorities for your Personal Health Plan based on your answers, what would they be? 1) 2) 3) 3. Which areas had the fewest checkmarks? 4. Based on your answers, if you were to choose three areas as your greatest Whole Health assets, what would they be? 1) 2) 3) Take a few moments to complete the Mindful Awareness Moment on the next page as well. VHA Office of Patient Centered and Cultural Transformation Page 6 of 7
8 Mindful Awareness Moment Taking the Whole Health Survey Consider the following? How did you feel while taking this survey? Why? Where in your body did those feelings arise? Was there a particular component of Whole Health where you scored relatively high on the questions? What about one where your scores were relatively low? Why might that be? Did taking this survey seem overwhelming? Can you take just one of the questions and give it your full attention for a day or a week? Does working with the areas where you identified necessarily have to be based on making them par of your to do list, or might you focus on them in another way? For example, some people or groups will focus on a different part of the Circle of Health each day, or each week, or even each month. This doesn t mean you neglect the other components; you simply choose one to emphasize for a given period of time. Do you agree that the items listed in the questionnaire are important? Why or why not? Was anything missing that you think should be added? How can you overcome any obstacles to accomplishing your Whole Health goals? If you cannot necessarily overcome them, what steps can you take, despite their existence? Whole Health: Change the Conversation Website Interested in learning more about Whole Health?
