The Patient is a Person - Removing Healthcare Prejudice (Bias)

Send us Fan MailSummary:  Preconceived notions within healthcare professionals about what another person might be, before we have a direct, open and genuine interaction with them, can derail the best treatment for that person.  To provide the best treatment, efforts to effectively communicate continue by healthcare; but the person – the patient – must also make efforts to express themselves openly and honestly regarding their healthcare.  Shared decision making:  this episode is about getting in there, establishing an understanding of your options, and working WITH your healthcare team, including your pharmacist!     Topics:  ·      Shared Decision Making 01:15·      Generational Theory 02:00·      Culturally Competent Care 03:40·      Person Type = Another Bias 07:10·      Patient Perspective 12:00·      Medical Terminology = Bias 14:30·      Direct, Open & Genuine Talk with Healthcare 16:30·      Mary Berry 17:15·      LEARN (to facilitate shared decision making) 18:25·      Pharmacists – Team with them!  20:30·      Mayo Clinic 21:00·      Journaling 21:30  Questions and comments to  [email protected]
