HealthCare in Rhode Island Is Broken:(

Thanks for reading Achieve Balance! This post is public so feel free to share it.(Tip: Sorry in advance for the slight delay at start of this video-trying to record straight from Substack to video NEVER works on a Mac, don’t try it!)Take 2- The Office Check-inWasn’t sure where to post this video (either at Know Stroke or here on Achieve Balance) since the subject within crosses both themes and content areas I am writing about on Substack.How are we to Achieve Balance when the ‘health care’ systems around us are collapsing in front of our eyes?Please watch the video- I need your feedback and please do send me some hope! Also if you just want to comment about the roads in Rhode Island if you’ve been through our state to head to the Cape or up to Boston recently, chime in below. Here was my original video post before I walked in to the medical office and had thoughts for Take 2.Take 1- The Pre-Checkin and the patient portalAre you using it for help in your own medical management?This was the short video I was going to post as a note to get your feedback how/if you are using your patient portal within your provider’s EMR/EHR. Do You Use Your Provider’s Patient Portal to Help You Stay Well and Achieve Balance?Message me if you found the post it note tip helpful! Thanks!!PollBottom Line: Hope is a good thing, but hope is not a plan. Rhode Island needs a better plan to keep up its’s roads, its medical infrastructure, its payment and reimbursement rates, and its provider incentives to keep talent from leaving the state or the healthcare system will crumble. It’s already heading there fast.Until next time, stay well, keep the faith and keep moving forward.-David This is a public episode.
