We hear a homecare and hospice nurse’s perspective on healthcare from Rachel Hammon on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Rachel is a member of Generation X. She joined the podcast from Texas where she is the Executive Director of the Texas Association of Homecare and Hospice. Previously, she was a nurse within the hospital setting as well as the home care setting. As you will hear in the interview, she is also a passionate advocate for patients and their right to receive care in the environment of their choosing. Here are 3 things that stood out as Rachel Hammon gave us a homecare and hospice nurse’s perspective on healthcare: Homecare is extremely diverse. It represents a variety of care options, differing time lengths of treatment, and serves individuals of all ages, from children to seniors. Quality healthcare means timely access to care in an environment of the patient’s choosing, including the option to receive services within the home. The ability to provide quality care throughout the healthcare system has been challenged by the current labor market. Additionally, wages for home care workers and nurses can present a challenge.

We hear a patient’s perspective on healthcare from Wanda Allen in this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast with Rob Oliver. Wanda is from Mississippi.

This is interview 39 in the patient’s perspective interview marathon.

Nobody wants to get a surprise bill! It’s not just one doctor’s office here or there that is creating the problem. It is the healthcare system in the United States that causes the frustration.

Ben Reuter gives us a patient’s perspective on healthcare on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Ben is from just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is episode 38 of the patient’s perspective interview marathon. It’s hard to believe that we are down to double digits left (just to spell it out, there’s only 99 interviews remaining.) Here are 3 things that stood out as Ben Reuter provided a patient’s perspective on healthcare: Getting a recommendation from someone that you trust can be a real game changer when it comes to choosing a healthcare provider. There is great value in healthcare providers who encourage preventive measures, such as regular check-ups and diagnostic tests, to detect health issues early and prevent more severe problems down the line. Healthcare practitioners should prioritize patient care and proactive health measures over paperwork.

The interview marathon continues as Rikki Quintana gave us a patient's perspective on healthcare on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast with Rob Oliver. This is interview 37 in this series. Only 100 more to go! Rikki is from New Mexico. She shared some very personal insights and there's a lot to learn here. Here are 3 things that stood out as Rikki Quintana gave us a patient's perspective on healthcare: Insurance significantly controls the healthcare people receive in the United States, access to care often depends on presenting an insurance card. Quality healthcare should consider the entire person, including their physical and mental health and life circumstances, rather than just focusing on specific medical issues.

Anne Leduc gives us a nurse practitioner’s perspective on healthcare during this interview from the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Anne is a member of the Baby Boomer generation. She joined Rob from Connecticut. Anne Leduc has retired from her career as a nurse practitioner but is passionate about the profession and ensuring that patients receive high quality care. Here are 3 things that stood out as Anne Leduc gave us a nurse practitioner’s perspective on healthcare: Whether it is short term rehab for long-term care, the goal is for patients to transition back to independent living.

We hear a patient’s perspective on healthcare from Jennifer Darling on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Jennifer is from Northern California. In addition to joining Rob to share her perspective as a patient, she is a LinkedIn expert in real life (you will hear Rob mention seeing her on LinkedIn at the end of the interview.) This is interview 35 in the Guinness World Record setting interview marathon. Here are 3 things that stood out as Jennifer Darling gave us a patient’s perspective on healthcare: Sometimes it’s important for the patient to empower themselves. This is possible through education as well as seeking alternative treatments that are outside of traditional medicine and may not be covered by insurance. Jennifer’s “Healthcare Hero” is her general practitioner who treated her with a holistic approach, taking into account her life beyond the current symptoms. They connected on a human level. Medical professionals need to take better care of themselves to combat stress and burnout. One strategy would be to form communities where they can share experiences and alleviate stress which will help improve the quality of healthcare their patients receive.
