Doctors and nurse practitioners both receive significant specialized training for their careers in the medical field — and both are focused on providing high-quality patient care. But some patients are less familiar with the role of nurse practitioners, and misconceptions about their abilities do exist. 

“The older population isn’t as used to nurse practitioners and definitely have some guarded questioning,” says Renee Canfield, an internal medicine nurse practitioner with TriHealth in West Chester, in this episode of Getting Health Care Right. “But once they get to see me and experience the care I can give them, they usually are fine.” 

In this episode, hosted by Cincinnati Business Courier Publisher Jamie Smith, Canfield discusses the differences between her role as nurse practitioner and that of her colleague, Dr. Chadd Todd, a physician in internal medicine with TriHealth. Listen to learn more about: 

• Types of patients Canfield sees at TriHealth in West Chester. 
• How the population health approach changes the way doctors and nurse practitioners care for patients. 
• Canfield’s career path to becoming a nurse practitioner.
• A normal day as a certified nurse practitioner (CNP). 
• Todd’s view on the advantages of having a nurse practitioner on staff.
• Patient reactions to seeing a nurse practitioner.

One quality many Cincinnati patients look for in a health care system is an emphasis on personalized resources and localized support. In recent years, TriHealth’s leaders have recognized this increased demand for “tighter connection and more continuity across the board, both at the patient level, as well as behind the scenes with the care team,” according to Terri Hanlon-Bremer, TriHealth’s COO, in this podcast.  

That’s why TriHealth has introduced the concept of “health neighborhoods,” which prioritize personalized care and meeting the patient where they’re physically located, said Hanlon-Bremer. 

Listen as Hanlon-Bremer discusses health neighborhoods with Dr. Diane Dolensky, a board-certified internal medicine physician with TriHealth Physician Partners and learn more about: 

·      Ways a health neighborhood approach is beneficial at the patient level.

·      How health neighborhoods can benefit doctors and other health care staff. 

·      Impacts on the quality of care. 

·      The shortage of health care providers and how the neighborhood concept may help with that issue.
