I ran across an article the other day. An opinion piece posted in a noted medical journal, the article discussed the difference between patient-centered care and person-focused care. The final page of the article featured the following quote:
I’ve been working under our SAMHSA contract Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS) to organize an annual Policy Academy to help state systems adopt a recovery orientation. Armed with a subcontract, states pull together teams of decision makers to effect a paradigm shift by bringing recovery-oriented care to their mental health and substance use services.
Over a year ago I worked with a research group that had secured NIH funding to better understand the 30-day readmission rates at minority-serving hospitals across the country. I interviewed Chief Quality Officers, Chief Medical Officers, case mangers, and others in public, private, and teaching hospitals with a high minority patient population.
Recently, I wrote for Threads about my experiences in medical settings in the post "Looking for the Borderline Patient."
