Patients at Risk

Regaining Patient Trust: The Importance of Physician Advocacy


Listen Later

Susan J. Baumgaertel, MD FACP, an internal medicine physician, author, patient advocate, and ally to colleagues discusses how physicians can fight for patients.

Trust in physicians has plummeted in the last few years (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2821693), making it more and more difficult for doctors to do their jobs, and potentially leading to a negative impact on patient care. While many point to handling of the COVID pandemic as the cause of growing distrust, a larger part of the problem may be that ordinary physicians virtually no control over the healthcare system or even the day-to-day practice of medicine.

Dr Baumgaertal (myMDadvocate) discusses her fight to help physicians regain the trust of our patients by making sure that they get the best care.
