After the interview, I would have gathered the right information about Alison’s intake and her attitudes towards them. I will use the information as a monitoring tool to assess her medicine intake. Patients taking medicine for their stress and depression can use electronic monitoring systems to inform them when they should be taking their drugs. The electronic systems will help Alison to of detect here medicine intake and register it without the manual intervention. During intake and monitoring, I will focus on all the tools aiming towards motivating change and promoting self-management for Alison.

The latter can be accomplished through the creation of SMART goals that work for Alison. The SMART goals may touch on physical health assessment, Wellness planning tools, and the shared health outcome tool. When looking for the monitoring tools, it is essential to choose the tools that would enhance behavior change and help the Alison to adapt to new ways of behavior. I will also evaluate if Alison has any close relative who can take the responsibility of encouraging her to take her medication.
