Manage episode 423088459 series 3401731
Ever wondered why patients miss their medication schedules despite clear instructions? Our enlightening conversation with Dr. Kate Jones reveals the critical shift from simply labeling patients as "non-compliant" to understanding the complexities behind "patient adherence." Discover how patient-centered care and shared decision-making can transform healthcare outcomes and why addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) is paramount for effective and realistic care plans.
Through a real-world case involving medication refills, we underscore the importance of thorough patient questioning. You'll hear how a nurse's persistence uncovered the true reasons behind missed refills and how practical solutions like pharmacy delivery services or mail-order options can prevent hospital readmissions. This segment highlights the value of taking extra time to identify and solve underlying issues, ultimately improving patient care.
Communication is the cornerstone of healthcare, and in our final segment, we discuss strategies to enhance patient interactions. Learn how using phrases like "tell me more" can foster a non-punitive, supportive environment and explore organizational techniques to encourage a culture of empathy and understanding. We also touch on the upcoming health equity standards from CHAP, emphasizing the need for continuous advancement in quality care. Join us for a thought-provoking episode that advocates for a more holistic and empathetic approach to healthcare.
