Jim Batterton gives us a patient’s perspective on healthcare in this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast with Rob Oliver. Jim is located in Connecticut. You may recognize his last name because his wife joined the interview marathon as well. This is episode 176 of the podcast and Jim is the 59th interview in the patient’s perspective marathon. If you are enjoying these interviews, we would value a review on whatever platform you listen to Perspectives on Healthcare. Here are 3 things that stood out as Jim Batterton gave us a patient’s perspective on healthcare: The cost of healthcare services needs to be more transparent. There is no upfront pricing information for healthcare as opposed to other consumer services. There needs to be a better system for coordinating and connecting care providers. Information needs to be easily shared across a variety of healthcare settings. Creating a more consumer friendly healthcare system involves valuing not just the practitioners time but the patient’s time as well. Both need to be valued equally.

Michelle May gives us a family physician’s perspective on healthcare on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast. Michelle is a member of the baby Boomer generation. She is located in Arizona. She is the CEO of a company called Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Programs and Trainings. Michelle May has personal experience and a professional understanding of our eating habits and the impact they have on our health. Do you follow us on social media? Check the links below to connect and make sure that you are up-to-date on everything going on with Rob Oliver and the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast. Here are 3 interesting points that Michelle made while sharing a family physician’s perspective on healthcare: Quality healthcare looks at the whole person’s well-being rather than focusing solely on metrics like weight or BMI. There needs to be caution within the medical community about using weight as a primary indicator of health. Medical professionals can have better conversations with their patients by asking open-ended questions, avoiding assumptions based on body size, and providing support tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Here is the link to the article that she mentioned during the interview: Mauldin, K., May, M., Clifford, D. (2022). The consequences of a weight‐centric approach to healthcare: A case for a paradigm shift in how clinicians address body weight.

Wherever you are listening, make sure to hit the “Subscribe” button so you never miss an episode. Here are 3 stand out points that Melissa Marshall makes as she shares a patient’s perspective on healthcare: Healthcare Heroes are the ones who show empathy, believe in their patients and actively work with patients to improve their condition. Quality Healthcare is affordable, accessible for all people and welcomes patient input. (Patients must be seen as equal members of the care team.) Healthcare professionals need to be aware of their own disability bias. Being aware of its existence and recognizing how personal biases impact patient care can make a huge difference in the way their practices run.

With two episodes a week, there’s plenty of interesting conversation surrounding quality healthcare and how to improve it. Here are 3 things that stood out as Carter Williams shared a venture capital investor’s perspective on healthcare: Food is health. One of the ways to address some of the significant health issues facing our country such as type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease is to look at the food that we eat. Bringing nutritional counselors into your local grocery store or Walmart is one way to encourage good food choices. Nutritional guidance would work hand in hand with healthcare services. As we move towards the future, Carter Williams would like to see the investment in healthcare switch from treatment to prevention. It may be possible to effectively eliminate type II diabetes.

This is interview 57 in the patient’s perspective interview marathon. You will hear me mention the fact that I’ve been going for over 15 straight hours. It seems like a long time when I said it but it is not even halfway to the end of the marathon. Here are 3 things that stood out as Marcie Roth gave us a patient’s perspective on healthcare: Immediate and accessible communication with healthcare providers is extremely valuable. It allows patients to get clarification without the need for an office visit. Quality healthcare includes being treated with respect and taken seriously by medical providers.

It’s Ashley Waliczek giving a patient’s perspective on healthcare on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Ashley currently lives in Windsor, Ontario. Her perspective is unique in that she has lived in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, giving her experience with the US healthcare system in 2 locations as well as the Canadian healthcare system. It’s fascinating to hear her talk about having to find a volunteer doctor. Make sure that you are subscribed to the podcast so you don’t miss any of these fascinating interviews. They are published every Tuesday and Friday. Here are 3 points that stuck out in my mind from Ashley Waliczek as she gave us a patient’s perspective on healthcare: A volunteer doctor at a free clinic for newcomers to Canada became a healthcare hero! He took the patient’s concern seriously, ordered the necessary tests and identified a serious medical issue. Quality Healthcare is about building mutual trust. Patients need to be involved in their own health and, especially, in the decision-making process. Empathy is key. Healthcare professionals should treat every patient with respect and empathy. This fosters a collaborative approach rather than a top-down model. Rob Oliver is “Your Keynote Speaker”, addressing quality healthcare, resilience and excellence in adversity.

It’s part 2 of A Patient’s Perspective on Healthcare from Traci Sexton on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Traci is from Indiana, Pennsylvania, about an hour north of Pittsburgh. Her story involves her own experiences being diagnosed with arthritis at age 7 and her experiences with her daughter Lily who has transverse myelitis. Her insights are extremely interesting. If you did not catch part 1, I would encourage you to go back and listen. Here are 3 things that stood out as his word in this part of the interview with Traci Sexton giving a patient’s perspective on healthcare: Medicine needs to be a true collaboration. Patients nor practitioners can be counted on to know everything. Needs to be an allowance for “I don’t know.” There is a need for advocacy in the healthcare system beyond just the family members. Advocates can help navigate things like access to care, billing, and communication with the practitioner. There is a lack of communication between healthcare professionals. An effective communication system where information is shared may help practitioners to properly diagnose and treat the patients that come into their practices.

Traci Sexton shares a patient’s perspective on healthcare on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast with Rob Oliver. Traci is from Indiana, Pennsylvania (a town just north of Pittsburgh.) Traci is an amazing story that includes her own diagnosis with arthritis at age 7 and her daughter’s experience with transverse myelitis. This is interview 55 in the world record setting patient’s perspective interview marathon. This episode features the first half of the interview. Here are 3 things that stood out as Traci Sexton shared a patient’s perspective on healthcare: There is a fine line between sharing your symptoms with a medical professional and being asked to self diagnose. This is especially true as a parent talking about your children’s medical condition. Your health insurance company can be a Healthcare Hero by advocating for your needs and helping to resolve billing issues. Quality healthcare is about providing solutions. Medical professionals should be honest. If they have a solution, share it. If they don’t, admit it.
