  • Mary Ann Stanchik: A Patient’s Perspective on Healthcare
    Mar 29 2024

    We hear a patient’s perspective on healthcare from Mary Ann Stanchik on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast with Rob Oliver. Mary Ann is from Pennsylvania. This interview came from the Patient’s Perspective Interview Marathon. For those of you watching on video, I’m not sure what was going on but for some reason everything in the picture is lavender. You will hear in Mary Ann Stanchik’s comments at the beginning of the interview that she is wearing something that is black. Whatever she is wearing, her WebCam definitely gives it a purple look.

    Be sure to follow the show on social media. It Is on Twitter (X), Instagram, Tik-Tok, and will soon be coming to Pinterest. You’ll get announcements about new episodes and infographics about what guests have said during their interviews.

    Here are 3 things that stood out as Mary Ann Stanchik provided a patient’s perspective on healthcare:

    • The health insurance marketplace is difficult to navigate. Additionally, it can sometimes be cost prohibitive to the point that people are making employment decisions based on health insurance coverage.
    • It is imperative that healthcare is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial status.
    • Improving the quality of care that patients receive must include embracing new technology, such as telehealth, and incorporating patient feedback and preferences.

  • Alex Lawson: A Patient’s Perspective on Healthcare
    Mar 15 2024

    It’s a patient’s perspective on healthcare from Alex Lawson on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast with Rob Oliver. This is a unique dual role perspective as he shares his viewpoint both as a patient and as a medical professional. Alex Lawson is from Massachusetts. This interview comes from the patient’s perspective interview marathon. It takes place 17 hours into the marathon which is almost 1:00 a.m. As I mention in the interview, I have not had a single break to this point. The wild thing is, were not even halfway to the goal.

    Here are 3 things that stood out as Alex Lawson gave us a patient’s perspective on healthcare:

    • Healthcare Heroes help to ease the burden of illness and to settle uncertainty by providing compassionate care.
    • There is room within the healthcare context for the integration of both conventional treatments and natural remedies. The greater the number of treatments, the more options there are for better patient outcomes.
    • Reducing the cost of healthcare is possible when medical professionals scrutinize the necessity of medical procedures and tests. Eliminating unnecessary treatments can go a long way to lowering healthcare costs and increasing fiscal responsibility.

  • Amy Behimer: A Pharmacist’s Perspective on Healthcare
    Mar 11 2024

    We hear a pharmacist’s perspective on healthcare from Amy Behimer on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Amy is part of the millennial generation (Generation Y) although she is pretty close to the border between Generation X and Generation Y. She is from Georgia.

    Be sure that you are following Rob Oliver and the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast on social media. The links are at the bottom of the show notes. We would love to hear from you.

    Here are 3 things that stood out as Amy Behimer shared a pharmacist’s perspective on healthcare:

    • In patient centered care, the patient must play a central role in making their own decisions about healthcare. Additionally, they must advocate for themselves to ensure that they are heard and valued.
    • Quality healthcare must encompass the entire human being: physical, mental, and emotional. It is essential to consider the entire being rather than focusing solely on specific symptoms or conditions.
    • Changes in healthcare as well as society need to be incremental. The changes in mindset do not need to be driven by medication, it needs to be small, sustainable change that happens one person at a time.
