The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has launched a campaign to get patients more involved in their medical care. This can only be a good thing. The Wall Street Journal wrote about it today. And for the curious, here are 10 questions to get you started:

1. What is the test for?
2. How many times have you done this procedure?
3. When will I get the results?
4. Why do I need this treatment?
5. Are there any alternatives?
6. What are the possible complications?
7. Which hospital is best for my needs?
8. How do you spell the name of that drug?
9. Are there any side effects?
10. Will this medicine interact with medicines that I’m already taking?
