STL UX Notes 1
Medical inertia
Keep doing more of the same, oftentimes doing nothing other than making sure what we were doing worked.
The current system does not accommodate narratives – you can’t record a life style change. It’s not recordable. No proof that doctors are doing anything. It’s easy to prescribe drugs – or at least it’s easier to record that something was prescribed
Medicalization – if there is a drug for it, why would you offer other things?
Medical Home
Patient focused: focused on the whole person. Patient preferences guide the care provided
Team-based:
Efficient: receive the right care at the right time
Comprehensive: pcp is first contact but is tied to everything else to deliver fully integrated care
Continuous
Communication
What is health/wellness?
Proscriptive health – do this to be “healthy” instead of “do this when you get sick”
Lots of varying definitions
Health is a measure
Wellness is a process
