Back to EpisodesAchieving Health Equity: Overcoming Bias & Empowering Patient Advocacy
Description
Are you tired of feeling powerless in the doctor’s office? Discover how to be your own advocate and champion health equity to overcome cultural bias in your medical records.
“When the person is referred to as non-compliant, what it tells you is that the person is not following directions… And if you write non-compliant in the medical records two or three times, that person is not going to help us.” – Dr. Mauvareen Beverley
In this raw and insightful conversation, Dr. Mauvareen Beverley, patient engagement expert and author of “Nine Simple Solutions to Achieve Health Equity,” pulls back the curtain on the unconscious biases and systemic barriers impacting care for women and minority communities. Through eye-opening anecdotes spanning her 20-year tenure as an executive-level physician, you’ll bear witness to the transformative impact of asking “why” instead of making assumptions.
You’ll emerge with the tools to:
- Advocate for a comprehensive social history in your medical records beyond reductive labels like “non-drinker, non-smoker”
- Understand the deep-rooted fears that can fuel “non-compliance” and learn the “SPOT Methodology” for addressing these concerns
- Reframe your perspective to recognize the “common thread” uniting all human experiences with illness, transcending societal divides
- Discover powerful strategies for communicating your needs without feeling dismissed or judged during medical appointments
