Maine Quality Counts Podcast

A Primer: The Wisdom of the Ages. Healthcare costs are rising and our population is aging.  Using the same outdated care delivery patterns to address an escalating need for patient centered care and the promotion of health is failing, futile and foolish. Evidence based care must be delivered in old and expanded ways. This delivery must be valued, accessible and reimbursable. This session begins an exploration of the opportunities and barriers to integrating Mind Body Medicine into coordinated primary care, with a focus on the older adult. We look at care delivery and patient engagement that is intrinsic and empowering rather than extrinsic and limiting.  And as such, can serve as a means to develop resiliency for the patient, caregiver, provider, team and community.
