A clinically Prepared Patient understands their condition, knows their numbers, has the right tools at home, advocates for their own care, and is an active partner on the health care team — earning the Prepared Patient Ambassador badge along the way. They nip problems in the bud before an ER visit, before a rehospitalization, and before complications spiral. They are calmer because they are competent — and along the way they help the health care system spend the right care, at the right time, in the right place. The same program also certifies Disease Advocates (family, friends, support-group leaders, and academic allies — patient or not) and gives health care professionals a quick-start to use these tools with their own patients.
Knowing what's normal, what's a warning, and what to do replaces fear with a plan you've practiced.
A Force Field of small daily checks heads off ER visits, rehospitalizations, and avoidable complications.
Right care, right time, right place — measured by the FFH ROI Engine and PHIT for every certified Ambassador.
Every Ambassador walks this same path. Once you complete it for one condition, you carry the habit forward — each new condition you add layers a Force Field Card on top of the basics you already own.
Welcome — I'll walk this path with you. Pick one condition that matters to you and start at step 1. Don't skip ahead; each step builds the Force Field that protects you. Most people finish their first condition in 2–3 sittings, then every condition after that goes faster.
Universal foundation: how the body works, what "normal" looks like, how to talk with a care team, how to read a chart, and the basics of medications, exercise, sleep, food, and stress.
Shared across every condition →One-page condition overview — the diagnosis in plain language, the daily Force Field of habits and checks that protect you, and the red flags that mean "call now."
First read for any condition →Short self-screen so you (or a family member) can answer "am I at risk?" or "how am I doing right now?" — before you ever sit in the waiting room.
OSA screener live; 11 more in queue →The signature module — pre-assessment, Learn / Live / Share lessons, condition-specific quizzes, comorbidity and caregiver intake, and "Your Next Goals."
8 conditions live, more on the way →The actual stuff a Prepared Patient should have at home — BP cuff, pulse oximeter, glucometer, peak-flow meter, action plan card, fridge magnets, and red-flag wallet card.
Per-condition kits in build →Demonstrate hands-on skills — taking a BP, using your inhaler, sticking your finger, signing into your portal — to a Prepared Patient Educator & Certifier (PPEC).
Open the Skills Lab →Pass the condition exam, earn the credential, then become an Ambassador who teaches others, gathers data through the ROI Engine, and feeds PHIT.
See the certification →One condition mastered. Now you teach. Now your data feeds PHIT. Now you stack another Force Field Card and do it again.
Seven take you from learner to clinically Prepared Patient. Two more let you keep going — as a Disease Ambassador advocating for the people you love, or as a health care professional weaving these tools into how you manage your own patients. Sickle Cell Disease is the gold-master being story-completed first; once a part exists for SCD, the same shape clones forward to every other condition.
Nine pieces, one promise: when you've completed all of them for your condition, you'll know your numbers, own your tools, and recognize the red flags before they become red emergencies. Pieces 1–7 make you the Prepared Patient. Piece 8 is for the people who love you. Piece 9 is for the clinician who treats you.
Shared health-literacy foundation every Prepared Patient builds on — how the body works, what "normal" looks like, how to read a chart, and the basics of meds, sleep, food, and stress. Master this once and every condition you add afterward goes faster.
One-page Force Field overview of the condition in plain language — the diagnosis, the daily habits and checks that protect you, and the red flags that mean "call now." This is the first thing every patient should read.
A quick self-screen for risk or current status. Answers "am I at risk?" or "how am I doing right now?" — before you ever sit in a waiting room. The OSA screener is live; eleven more are queued.
Pretest, modules, quizzes — plus comorbidity & caregiver intake, Learn / Live / Share lessons, and a next-goal panel that names what you'll work on first. The signature module of the whole program.
Home kit list + how-to sheets for cuffs, meters, plans, and reminders. The actual stuff a Prepared Patient should have at home — BP cuff, pulse oximeter, glucometer, peak-flow meter, action-plan card, fridge magnets, red-flag wallet card.
Hands-on demo with a PPEC sign-off rubric. You show me — or your Prepared Patient Educator & Certifier — that you can take a BP, use your inhaler, stick your finger, or sign into your portal. Skills, not just knowledge.
Final exam plus the Prepared Patient Ambassador credential — the clinically certified-patient badge — and ROI/PHIT enrollment so your outcomes feed the Network. Earn it once and you're listed in the FFH directory.
Sixteen advocacy, support-group, fundraising, and event squares — for people who love someone with the condition, lead a support group, or champion the cause. The Advocate badge is intentionally distinct from the certified-patient Ambassador badge.
The Prepared Provider orientation page — FFHN welcome, the full asset library, a use-case map across office / phone / telemedicine / portal / home / school / work / ER / discharge / family teaching, 360 Human Explorer access, PHIT local data, and the certification path.
What's built today, and what's queued for backfill. Sickle Cell Disease is the lead — it has the deepest stack and is the first to also include Patient, Family, and Medical Professional variants.
Find your condition — or the condition of someone you love — and start there. Green pills mean it's live and ready. Amber means it's drafted. If yours isn't on the list yet, jump down to the backfill list and tell us which one to build next; that's how the queue moves.
SCD is the first condition assembling all three personas: Patient (Prepared Patient course → Ambassador badge), Advocate (16-square Disease Advocate Bingo Card for non-patient supporters), and Provider (the new SCD Provider Hub — orientation, asset library, use-case map, certification path — which links into the deeper Prepared Medical Professional course covering ER, discharge, and phone triage). It also has the 360 Human Explorer anatomy view and the Skills Lab clinical rubric. Every other condition is being shaped against this model.
Honest snapshot so we can publish today and still see clearly what to build next. The Skills Lab catalog already references all twelve conditions; the courses, screeners, advocacy cards, and clinician quick-starts are catching up to it.
This is the honest list. We publish what's ready and show you what's coming — no "coming soon" smoke. If you see a gap that matters to your patients, your family, or your community, tell Lucy or me and it moves up the queue.
Only Sleep Apnea has a screener today (the OSA Ambassador demo). Build the next four to match the deepened conditions: SCD, HTN, T2D, Asthma.
Falls Prevention has a Fact Sheet only. CKD, Anxiety, Depression, and Obesity are catalogued in the Skills Lab but have no course yet.
SCD and Hypertension are live; the SHELL template is in place so each new condition can clone in a single working session. Next priorities: Asthma, Type 2 Diabetes, COPD, Heart Failure, Sleep Apnea.
SCD Provider Hub is live (asset library + use-case map + certification path; links into the deep Prepared Medical Professional course). The SHELL template is ready. Every other condition is one cloning session away from a working Provider Hub.
Cuff / oximeter / glucometer / peak-flow / action-plan kits should each have their own how-to with images and the PHIT log link.
ZIP-based regional resource lists pulled from PHIT — pharmacies, support groups, Ambassador buddies — for every published condition.
Companion view (not part of the 9-deliverable contract). SCD has a deep-link anatomy page; every other condition gets one as we work through the 360 Human Explorer fix-list.
Live snapshot of every condition planned for the Prepared Patient program, grouped by organ system. Each row shows current build status. Use this to direct sprints, track gaps, and brief Lucy + clients on what's coming when. The library is intentionally extensible — add new conditions as program partners request them.
Fifty conditions is the goal. Twelve proves the model; fifty makes us the standard. Watch the dots flip green — each one is a person who can now confidently manage their condition and a clinician who has the right tools to support them.
A working schedule for what Rob and Claude need to build together, in order. Sprint-style cards. Each sprint names the goal, the deliverables in scope, and a "Rob + Claude" line for the synchronous building work that needs both of us in the same session.
The work plan, in plain sight. Sprints, owners, dates. No mystery, no delay — when Lucy and I sit down to build, these are the cards we check off. If you want to sponsor a sprint or sit in on a build session, that lane is open.
Lock SCD as the story-complete gold-master in time for the Banner demo on Friday. Make the show-flow rehearsable end-to-end.
Story-complete the next three priority conditions to match SCD. The SHELL templates for both Advocate Bingo and Provider Hub are in place; this sprint is about content per condition.
The third audience hub — patient and family-facing entry point. Right now the Advocate Bingo back-link returns to this internal inventory page; once the Patient Welcome hub exists, both Patient courses and Advocate Bingos repoint at it.
Bring the second wave of conditions to nine-of-nine live. OSA already has a Course and a Screener; Falls Prevention has only the Fact Sheet today. Pace one condition per Rob + Claude session.
Per Rob's disease-of-the-day cadence: once the top eight are story-complete, bring on the remaining four at one per working day. Each ships with all nine deliverables from the templates.
With all 12 conditions story-complete, the next wave is the cross-cutting infrastructure that turns the program from "library" into "outcomes engine."
Per Rob's stated 50-condition library goal, the second wave of conditions enters the cadence once the original 12 are story-complete and the cross-cutting infrastructure is reliable.
