One Physician’s Story of Putting the Patient at the Center
It’s National Health IT Week, a time to recognize and bring attention to the countless ways technology helps to advance health care. Still, when it comes to care delivery, it’s all about the human interaction. From the point of view of a patient, there is nothing more highly valued than a helpful exchange with a trusted, compassionate caregiver. Today’s podcast -– the final segment in a series on patient-centered care delivery in the information age — brings that truth to life. Jack Cochran, MD, in conversation with Scott Young, MD, shares a story about how his approach to caring for one young patient left an especially lasting impression.

Access to Data and Patient-Centered Care
Yesterday, at the HHS Consumer Health IT Summit, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius proposed rules for the expansion of patients’ access to their own health information through the use of health IT. The focus of this announcement was on empowering patients with information to become active partners in their health and care.
Our second segment of the conversation between Jack Cochran, MD, and Scott Young, MD, explores that very issue. Today’s podcast centers on patient-centered care — what it looks like and why it’s important — in the information age.
