🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share that my first article, titled "Exploring Determinants of Adherence to Medical Regimens in Patients with Chronic Conditions Beyond Hypertension and Diabetes," has been published! 🎉 In this piece, I dive into the factors that influence how patients with chronic conditions maintain adherence to their treatment plans, focusing on areas beyond the commonly studied hypertension and diabetes. Understanding these determinants is critical to improving long-term health outcomes and supporting patients in managing their conditions effectively. This research is close to my heart as it aligns with my passion for improving patient care and rehabilitation outcomes. I hope it sheds light on an important aspect of chronic disease management and sparks meaningful conversations within the healthcare community. Feel free to check it out, and I would love to hear your thoughts! 💬 https://lnkd.in/demQAhSY #ChronicDiseaseManagement #PatientCare #AdherenceToTreatment #HealthcareInnovation #Physiotherapy #ExerciseScience #LifeLongLearning

Exploring the Future of Patient Health: The American Heart Association's latest advisory reshapes the narrative on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health. 💙 Published in Circulation, it highlights the crucial role of Primary Care Clinicians (PCPs) in diagnosing and treating obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease more holistically. Dr. Salim Hayek, a leading expert, emphasizes how this approach not only raises awareness but empowers PCPs to champion a more comprehensive and patient-centered healthcare strategy. Read the full article to discover the transformative potential of CKM health and how PCPs are at the forefront of this paradigm shift. 💪🩺 #HealthcareInnovation #PatientWellness #CKMHealth #PrimaryCare

For those who have asked me about the policy work I have been doing in the Alzheimer’s disease space, here is the PubMed link to my first, first-author paper, titled “Diagnostic Hesitancy of Primary Care Physicians in Puerto Rico Towards Alzheimer’s Disease: Opportunities for Transformation”, published in September. The findings of this study, with 100+ Puerto Rican PCPs, highlights the need to better prepare for the challenges of diagnosis and management of ADRD, when the “brain drain” of specialists is putting Puerto Rican PCPs at the helm of dealing with a growing ADRD epidemic. Addressing challenges faced by PCPs in diagnosing and managing ADRD is essential to ensure timely and accurate diagnosis –and appropriate care–for people living with the disease.
