The Podcast by KevinMD

When the doctor's advice isn't enough: a caregiver's perspective


Listen Later

In this episode, Nancie Wiseman Attwater discusses her husband Bill's struggle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Despite the doctor's advice to change his diet, Nancie realized that it was probably too late for that to make a difference. Instead, she focuses on making him comfortable in his remaining days and encourages other caregivers to do the same. Tune in to hear more about Nancie's journey as a caregiver and the importance of taking care of yourself while taking care of a loved one.

Nancie Wiseman Attwater is the author of A Caregiver’s Love Story.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "The slow progression of aging: Let compassion reign."

With a growing physician shortage, increasing burnout, and declining patient satisfaction, a dramatic change is needed to make health care more efficient and effective and bring back the joy of practicing medicine. AI-driven ambient clinical intelligence promises to help by revolutionizing patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
