Don’t Judge Patients

At One Health we are dedicated to providing accessible and non-judgmental care. In our conversation, we explore how detrimental judging patients can be to their healthcare experience. The importance of connecting with patients without preconceived notions or biases is what brings back the sacred patient and physician relationship. Traditional healthcare systems create barriers to access with phone trees, limited walk-in availability, and strict appointment policies that put up walls that divide the patient and provider. In this discussion we talk about how Onehealth is different from this traditional system. OneHealth's approach of providing immediate and same-moment access to care is just one example of what sets us apart. The significance of health equity and ensuring equal access to healthcare for uninsured or underinsured patients should be at the forefront of all of our minds in the healthcare system. We have strategies to reduce costs for essential services like imaging studies by exploring alternative, lower-cost options. The role of healthcare providers is to act as an advocate, considering social determinants and finding the smoothest path to deliver the best care.
