In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Dr. Rhiannon Winsor continues the conversation with Geneva Miller, founder of Equipped Healthcare Solutions, about why traditional patient education methods are falling short in modern healthcare.

From laminated handouts and rushed appointments to health literacy gaps and limited resources, Geneva shares why simply giving patients information is no longer enough. Drawing from years of experience in dialysis, nursing education, and care coordination, she explores practical, low-cost ways health centers can improve patient engagement, reduce medication errors, and better support chronic disease management.

Together, they discuss the importance of repetition, culturally competent care, teach-back methods, community outreach, and meeting patients where they are — both emotionally and practically.

This episode is a thoughtful look at how healthcare organizations can rethink education as an essential strategy for improving outcomes in value-based care.
