People tend to have better experiences in hospitality than they do in healthcare. In this episode, Saul Marquez welcomes healthcare leaders and authors Dr. Peter Yesawich and Dr. Stowe Shoemaker to discuss their new book, "Hospitable Healthcare," which emphasizes the need for healthcare to learn from the hospitality industry to improve patient care. Leveraging their expertise in hospitality and healthcare, the authors tackle patient experience challenges, urging the healthcare industry to integrate hospitality strategies and principles. The conversation delves into their research methodology, involving interviews with executives and a consumer survey, revealing five key deficits in patient experience, ranging from transparency in service costs to service recovery. To address these deficits, Peter Yesawich and Stowe Shoemaker introduce the "PAEER" model, emphasizing preparation, anticipation, engagement, evaluation, and reward, providing a user-friendly framework with anecdotes for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance patient care. Tune in and learn how adopting hospitality principles can transform the patient experience in healthcare! Resources:  Watch this interview here.

During the holiday season, Pete and the team from Talking HealthTech are taking a well earned break, so while they're away, the hosts of various shows from within the Talking HealthTech Podcast Network are sharing some of their favourite episodes from their own podcasts!This episode is brought to you by Riwka Hagen, Chris Smeed, and Kim Poyner from The Medicubes Podcast.About the Medicubes PodcastThe Medicubes team bring you a monthly panel conversation of exciting and challenging topics in primary health care, answering listener questions and invited guests to the discussions.About the EpisodeWelcome to The Medicubes Podcast with your hosts Riwka Hagen, Chris Smeed, and Kim Poyner. This episode features guest Deb Walter, a practice owner and manager of Sanctuary Medical Practice in Fletcher, New South Wales. Deb has firsthand experience with the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) and is passionate about accessibility and inclusion in healthcare because of her son Charlie, who lives with spina bifida and intellectual disability.In this episode, the hosts and Deb discuss the successes and challenges of NDIS and share insights into how healthcare organisations can improve their services to support individuals with disabilities. Key Takeaways- The NDIS is still in its infancy compared to Medicare, but it has made a dramatic impact on improving accessibility and affordability of healthcare for people with disabilities such as catheterisation, which used to cost thousands of dollars.- The diverse range of coverage that NDIS offers makes it hard to navigate, and individuals need more help to determine what funding they should have.- NDIS takes an individual approach to putting the client at the centre of funding, which dramatically changed Charlie's life.- The guardianship and financial management process for people with disabilities can be confrontational for parents who have to ask the state for permission to care for their son/daughter.- However, people with disabilities need to have a say in who makes decisions for them, even if they can't independently make all decisions.- The staff in healthcare organisations should connect with patients on a more personal level and remember their preferences and interests.- People with disabilities respond well to staff members who connect with them and become a part of their story, such as employing those who are neurodiverse and have intellectual disabilities.- Standards for medical staff certification, such as CPR, may exclude people with disabilities, and we need to think more flexibly about these standards and not exclude carers and parents of people with disabilities from the healthcare workforce.- Health professionals need templates to easily put together disability-related documents, and collaboration is needed to work towards creating and sharing templates as a resource.- The paperwork in the disability service sector is huge, and staff turnover in group homes can cause difficulties for patients in continuity of care.- Hospitals and healthcare facilities need to have staff who genuinely care and are willing to adapt to each individual's needs, including providing a parking spot and quiet space for individuals with disabilities.Links & Resources- Charlie's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/charliedidthis- NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission worker orientation module: https://www.ndiscommission.gov.au/workers/worker-training-modules-and-resources/worker-orientation-module- Disability awareness training: https://disabilityawareness.com.au/elearning/disability-awareness/- Useful links for intellectual disability:

Do you know the difference between CME, CE, CPD, and lifelong learning? Confused by all the terminology in continuing education for health professionals? Understanding the distinctions is key to navigating the world of accredited education and critical for delivering patient care based on the latest clinical evidence. These terms are like a variety of dishes at a buffet. CME is like a specially crafted, formal meal designed for licensed physicians, complete with specific flavors and presentations. CE, on the other hand, is the all-you-can-eat buffet, offering a wide range of options tailored to the entire healthcare team, from the savory entrees for physicians to the sweet desserts for nurses, pharmacists, and physician assistants. Meanwhile, CPD is like a cooking class that teaches not just recipes, but also the skills and techniques needed to become a versatile and accomplished chef, incorporating a mix of culinary, business, and professional development competencies. Just as lifelong learning is a continuous process of exploring new culinary delights, learning new skills, and combining different ingredients to create a fulfilling professional journey. Today's introductory primer breaks down the terminology in simple terms. Tune in to get clarity on continuing medical education once and for all.
