In a telehealth environment, I prioritize patient needs by first conducting a thorough assessment of their situation. I believe in actively listening to their concerns, which helps me identify urgent issues. I then work collaboratively with healthcare advocates to ensure that each patient’s unique needs are met promptly and effectively.

I focus on understanding how factors such as housing stability, food security, and transportation can impact patient health. In my previous roles, I have actively connected patients with resources to help mitigate these challenges.

Certainly! I once had a patient with multiple chronic conditions complicated by socioeconomic barriers. I worked with them to create a care plan that included regular follow-ups and enlisted the support of social services to address their barriers effectively. By fostering a strong therapeutic relationship, we achieved significant health improvements.
