Defining Health Equity - From the People On the Frontlines
Health Equity is a complicated and huge problem for all of us, not just the people suffering from poor health as a result of many issues that may be out of their control - where they live, genetic history, or cultural differences that make it difficult to navigate our healthcare system. This Podcast series will explain what Health Equity (or Health IN-Equity) is all about by using words, examples, and stories so everyone can understand this complicated problem. And based on what we learned about COVID, it is in everyone's best interest to be concerned about the health of everyone in this country to prevent another healthcare pandemic.
Defining Health Equity - From the People On the Frontlines
Is Out of Control Capitalism Killing our Healthcare System?
Dr. Dan Morhaim and I provide an episode of our series from Defining Health Equity we call, “Dr. Dan from Inside the ER.” Dr. Dan is virtually (6) guests in one – 40 years of front-line clinical experience, including as an emergency room physician – cannot get more frontline than that, healthcare entrepreneur, a former 24-year state legislator, author, national speaker, and professor.
In this episode we provide data around clinical outcomes demonstrating what happens when the "bottom line" supercedes clinical care. Be sure to "fact-check" us as is our policy to cite the data, not the "opinions:"
