Patient engagement and strong communication are important for achieving positive health outcomes and getting patients to adhere to their treatment plans. Here's how physicians can use engagement to improve health literacy for patients. ⚕️
" Research shows that asking a patient to explain back to you their condition, or how they think their medication works, can increase knowledge retention, reduce hospital admissions, and even improve patient satisfaction. Teachbacks take time but can be incorporated into not just the physician’s workflow, but also the workflow of nurses and MAs. Interestingly, these are often win-win. Ideally, the patient expresses full understanding, but if they do not – it’s an opportunity to remediate with that patient before they leave the office."

Independent pediatricians share what advice they would give to their younger selves. Check it out here! 👩⚕️
"Something I wish I could go back and impress upon my younger self is the amount of time or effort you need to invest to build a good, healthy practice culture. There are plenty of resources through PCC, PMI, and other organizations that can help you run and manage your business, but I wasn’t utilizing them as a younger practitioner. I wasn’t aware of the importance of developing my leadership skills, or how much my employees looked to me for guidance."
