In the latest episode, our hosts welcome Dr. Lee Green and Dr. Terry McDonald for a discussion about the importance of the patient’s medical home and the many benefits that come from continuity of care, including fewer emergency room visits. While virtual care is necessary and needed – especially during the pandemic – it works best when delivered by a physician who knows the patient and their medical history. They discuss the value of the relationship with your physician/clinic and the impacts to health system costs when this relationship is absent. Our guests also touch on the growing shadow pandemic of mental health, and how having a relationship with a physician can help patients open up about the stress they are experiencing.
