S1 Ep5: Practical Tactics and Patient Trust With an Integrative Oncology PA
Onc Nurse On Call is the new podcast by Oncology Nursing News, hosted by editors-in-chief Patricia Jakel, MN, RN, AOCN, and Stephanie Desrosiers (formerly Jackson), DNP, MSN, RN, AOCNS, BMTCN, delivering maximum impact in minimum time.
This week, our hosts sit down with Lillian Rodich, PA-C, MPH, an integrative oncology physician assistant at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Bendheim Integrative Medicine Center in New York, New York.
She also touches on how to talk to patients about outside herbs and other supplements, emphasizing that being open to discussing these with patients—and finding out for patients whether there may be interactions between the herb and the patient’s treatment instead of rejecting the topic—can build trust with patients and make them feel more comfortable being transparent with providers.
Particularly, Memorial Sloan Kettering’s integrative services have a website and mobile application called “About Herbs,” which serves as a database for identifying whether an herb or supplement will have interactions with a patient’s medications.
Rodich explained that there are ways to make integrative medicine more accessible to patients, regardless of what their insurance they have or what their financial situation is.
“Integrative medicine shouldn’t be for the privileged few," says Rodich. "It should be standard-of-care practice for all patients, no matter where they’re receiving care.”
