Three typical opportunities come from Care Considerations.
Care Considerations usually suggest the addition of a treatment, the stopping of a treatment, or suggest a procedure that hasn't been conducted.

• Adding a Treatment:
  Sue, 56, smokes. She also has diabetes. She and her physician receive a Care Consideration that suggests the addition of an ACE inhibitor to her treatment plan. This could help reduce her risk of a heart attack or stroke. Because Sue and her physician were informed of this opportunity, they decided to begin her on this treatment. Sue is happy and healthy as a result.

• Stopping a Treatment:
  Kevin learns from a Care Consideration that the St. John's Wort he's been taking to manage his mild depression can reduce the effectiveness of the anti-rejection drug used to help him after his transplant. After talking with his physician, Kevin decides to stop taking the herb and start another therapy to treat his depression.

• Performing a Procedure:
  Carol's 13 year-old daughter has sickle cell disease. She is reminded of the importance of talking to her physician about getting an imaging test to check for abnormalities in her daughter's brain to provide early detection for risk of stroke. As a result, this critical test is performed.
