How can we improve patient experience in primary care in the midst of immense constraints? Recent conversations highlight the extreme need to transform our primary care model, which is a critical pathway to enable better experiences and outcomes for primary care patients, families, and providers. For example see: 💡 Zeev Neuwirth, MD https://lnkd.in/eBiZ6Ewm and a featured editorial posted by 💡💡Barbra Rabson https://lnkd.in/ehD-iKCE While the immense constraints in primary care delivery models are far from "simple", the featured article below offers "14 Simple Tips" on Patient Experience (published by The Journal of The American Academy of Family Physicians ). Article Highlights: 👉 A positive patient experience is the result of multiple factors and interactions throughout the patient journey. 👉Physicians and their teams can improve the patient experience through practical steps, such as expanding visit options, using pre-visit planning to keep visits organized, and involving patients in their care decisions. 👉To improve visits, try simple strategies such as sitting down, avoiding medical jargon, providing visit summaries, and using the “teachback” technique.

Electronic medical records don’t always paint a full picture or actively show gaps in care, and certainly not across a clinician’s or practice’s population of patients. It takes a comprehensive platform to pull patient information together and connect the dots. #diversityandinclusion #healthequity #health #socialdeterminantsofhealth #sdoh #dataanalytics #populationhealthmanagement #valuebasedhealthcare #valuebasedcare #healthequityandaccess #integratedhealthcare #integratedhealthcaresystems #healthtech #Persivia #PersiviaAI https://lnkd.in/gnhnzp7j

As the Holidays approach, EOL discussions are needed but often hard to start cause it’s about death. Maybe the conversation starter should be how would you want treated if you had a medical emergency? Treatment can then be discussed in either directions as far as to save a life and then also discuss what they would not want as far as treatment when at EOL. Enjoy your family time above all else.

KevinMD just posted an article written by Health Note CEO, Joshua Reischer, MD, that proposes a better way to provide care. What do you think? "The modern doctor is operating at a disadvantage. Between documentation, data entry, and time constraints, we find ourselves constantly playing catch-up every day just to be able to treat our patients to the best of our ability. If we could start each visit from a better, more informed place, we could tip the scales." Time wasted, care hampered: How antiquated tech hurts patient engagement https://hubs.li/Q02pMMDq0 #healthcareit #healthcareinnovation #patientengagement Kevin Pho, M.D.

The patient experience symposium is coming up quickly!! If we can help patients feel heard, cared for, respected and well informed through every interaction, we can give them a great experience, and better outcomes, too.
