Arrive By vs Leave Now
In this solo episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson introduces a simple but powerful framework inspired by Apple Maps: “leave now” vs “arrive by.”
She explores how clinicians often approach care as a “leave now” process, giving patients a plan and expecting progress over time, while patients are operating with an unspoken “arrive by” goal, expecting results within a specific (and often unrealistic) timeframe.
This disconnect can lead to frustration, poor adherence, and patients feeling like care isn’t working even when it is.
This episode is a practical shift in how to communicate strategy and how to better align patient expectations with clinical reality.
