Defining Health Equity - From the People On the Frontlines

Guess what folks?  Doing the right thing and paying attention to the "non-clinical" aspects of health (social determinants of health) works!  Don't take our word for it, listen to Dr. Faisel Syed from ChenMed.  ChenMed has developed a business model where everybody wins - investors, the government, and most important of all - patients in need of healthcare who have been forced out of the "traditional" healthcare system.  Listen to hear about love in the workplace, physician burnout (they are people too!), and how we can fix our broken healthcare system.   Learn more at https://www.chenmed.com/ and listen to Dr. Faisel's wonderful podcast "Faisel and Friends: A Primary Care Podcast" on all the podcast sites you listen to.

Gene Ransom III has represented the 22,000 front-line physicians in Maryland for an organization called MedChi for almost 27 years, and as CEO for the past 14 years.

In this episode, you will hear "from the inside" what actually happened when COVID virtually closed the doors of physician practices just a short time ago and how they are rebuilding from this disaster.  More importantly, you will hear from Gene how we might be better prepared for the next epidemic and what we are doing differently to avert a similar catastrophe.   Gene will also surprise you with a very candid admission of why we have such issues around social determinants of health in our country.

Dr. Dan Morhaim and I open our new series from Defining Health Equity we call, “Dr. Dan from Inside the ER.”  Dr. Dan is virtually (6) guests in one – 40 years of front-line clinical experience, including as an emergency room physician – cannot get more frontline than that, healthcare entrepreneur, a former 24-year state legislator, author, national speaker, and professor.
 
In Part 1 of this podcast, Dr. Morhaim takes us behind the scenes and analyzes what he calls the “golden hour,” the time between the vicious beating Tyree Nichols experienced and the time Tyree should have received medical care.  Dr. Dan digs deeper into what happened, why, and what the root cause may have been that created the incident to begin with.  You will be surprised by what we uncover.

In this episode, we discuss what may be the heart of Health Equity (actually In-equity) - Social Determinants of Health, specifically food insecurity.  Some say that only 10-20% of "health" is clinical, the rest are other factors like the lack of enough food to feed your family.  

Cathy Kanesfky shares with us from an unbelievable personal perspective her work in creating one of the largest food banks in the region, and a beautiful heartwarming lesson in leadership along the way.  If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, we don't know what would.  Feel free to contact Cathy at the Food Bank via [email protected].

This show will be a view of Health Equity nobody is talking about, it’s about personal accountability, personal advocacy, and taking control of your health in a manner that I am sure you will find fascinating.  It’s about not blaming the system, not blaming the government, and not blaming the healthcare leaders responsible for delivering care.  It knocked me out of my chair, and hopefully, it will have the same impact on you.  Mayor Campbell is doing something about Health Equity, both personally and with the power of his office you have to hear about.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe to our podcast to support the show.

In this episode of Defining Health Equity Dr. Bone shares with us his unique approach to "personalized medicine" and his view of how health equity and "access to care" has changed over his many years of practicing medicine.  Dr. Bone offers us a view of personalized medicine when the focus shifts from taking care of "sick patients" to "value-based medicine" with a focus on keeping patients healthy.

A full description of what "Health Equity," or really "Health IN-Equity" means from a layperson's perspective.  We will outline the unique strategy we will be using to explain the implications of this problem with terms, examples, and stories that everyone can understand.  

In this introductory episode we will also discuss why everyone, not just the healthcare experts in the field, needs to know what Health Equity means to our entire population.  We will discuss the overall impact of the lack of Health Equity on our economy and more importantly, the drastic difference in health outcomes in the populations suffering from this problem.
