growing consumerism

1. Issue Statement: What issue is your project addressing?2a) Patient retention 2b)  Reasons why patients are frustrated with healthcare-inability to participate in decision making -Record time in and out visits with provider-accessibility to health records and monitoring -Prescription medication vs. holistic approaches and shared values 2. Discussion: Provide a minimum of 300 word description of your project. Include the following: What problem are you seeking to solve? Why is this important? How will you go about solving this issue? (What data will you need to collect and how will you collect it) What is the anticipated goal once the project is complete?The availability of online information and holistic advocates have significantly impacted patient consumerism and healthcare. Patients, especially being in a post covid political season, have started to take more control of their own health benefits and decisions. The two biggest factors affecting healthcare are the quality of care, and the financial affordability. As a case manager at a smaller family medicine clinic, the biggest operational problem within the clinic is patient satisfaction. I believe this is because of the inconsistent practices within the different providers. Patients, depending on availability, may have to see a different provider for care at times, and the practices and approaches are different. This paper aims to provide a review on the motives of patient satisfaction, staff communication and interaction, patient experience vs satisfaction, and specific health needs. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the provided care, and tailor health needs, values, and preferences to the individual patient, while practicing the same approach to all clinical decisions to protect the clinic and experience. I would like to incorporate the reasoning behind certain changes and decisions of the clinic in our marketing topics and posts so that the patients are in an equal understanding of what influences the changes. Knowing my patients, this will help them adapt.
