    #42: Achieving the Quintuple Aim of Healthcare

    Today's guest in Joseph (Joe) Harrision, MSN, NP Joseph Harrison was born in Kent, England in 1974. He moved with his family to California at the age of six, where he attended public school and played competitive soccer.  His family returned frequently to the UK during his childhood, supporting Joe's connections to his family and heritage, and reinforcing his sense of hybrid identity. Joe has always loved people, adventure, advocacy and ideas. He worked in the hospitality industry in various service and managerial roles in his early adulthood, traveling widely between jobs and working in three other countries.  Joe started college in his mid-twenties, attending multiple community colleges where he excelled academically and enjoyed serving his community as a tutor, community activities and volunteer community mediator. He transferred to UC Berkeley where he studied social theory, theory of change, political economy and other social sciences, resulting in Joe founding a small international Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) called InterAlianza at the time of his graduation. His NGO focussed on community uplift and environmental sustainability for indigenous communities in the highlands of Guatemala. During the founding and operation of InterAlianza Joe worked as a substitute teacher in Oakland, CA.  Teaching was deeply satisfying from a political and relational perspective but was very dissatisfying from the perspective of daily tasks and duties. Knowing that he was looking for something new, Joe took advantage of a move to Seattle, WA to return to school to complete prerequisites to enter a training program to become a Nurse Practitioner. Joe returned to California immediately after taking and passing his board exam and found a great job working as an integrated behavioral health nurse practitioner for adults with disabilities and older adults.  It was during this time that he met and married the love of his life, Monique. Joe and Monique have two beautiful children, Ciera (5.5) and Jonah (2). Joe has spent the last two and a half years splitting his time between raising his children and starting and building medical practices to serve older adults in their medical, cognitive and behavioral health needs. He has served as Founder and President, Head of Care Delivery and Chief Clinical Officer.    You can connect with Joe LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-harrison-msn-np-c-b1707641/  Website: http://www.availhealthcare.co/  Email: [email protected]    In this episode, Joe shares: How to prevent burnout through advocacy and by redefining your career roles The better you care for patients, the less it costs in the long run, and the better the outcomes Practical tips for implementing the quintuple aim How privilege is blind and is a lifelong journey to unlearn unconscious bias   Resources Shared The following resources were shared on today's episode.  Links included may be affiliate for the host or guest.   "Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine" by Uché Blackstock MD  https://amzn.to/3Ro3Pjh
