Please meet Rahul Vanjani, assistant professor of Medicine at Brown University and a primary care physician who founded Docs for Health. The initiative looks to address social risk factors to improve overall patient health because "healthcare involves more than medicine." Docs for Health partners with hospitals, clinics and payors to treat the social determinants of health. Our impact on a patient’s life is nearly 17x that of one of the most common drugs we use in medicine today. Intervention is the key ingredient in our unique approach. https://lnkd.in/e37dWfa4

Do you think #PatientReportedOutcomes are only for research? Not so! They can be an important part of clinical practice. Visionary clinicians who I worked with PeaceHealth and Visiting Nurse Service of New York referred to #PROs as another clinical measure that should be considered alongside temperature and BP. Check out the PROTEUS team’s work on implementing measures in clinical practice. #COA #patientcentered

That what professional coaching is.

The implications of race based medicine as a practice are clear: it threatens the health and well-being of the patients we serve and its ideological basis stymies efforts to strive for racial equity in medicine and health care. Take a listen, share and comment (especially if you learned something new or have a question!)
