Dr. Dov Rand, an age management specialist, has consistently received very positive reviews from patients under his care, and was awarded the Patient’s Choice Award for four consecutive years – from 2009 to 2012. Reviews on the Healthy Aging Medical Center website, as well as other medical review websites such as vitals.com and healthgrades.com, describe Dr. Dov Rand as an exceptional doctor that patients would go to again, who produced immediate results but also attacked the root issues and treated patients holistically. Dr. Dov Rand provides some suggestions on how other medical professionals can provide high quality care: - Focus on holistic care. Explore the many different treatment options available to the patient, and ensure that the patient understands what these options entail.
- Take the time to talk through medical issues with patients to better understand their symptoms. Misdiagnosis can be costly and frustrating for both healthcare providers and patients alike – developing a relationship with patients can prevent this, as healthcare professionals with strong relationships with their patients are less likely to be misinformed about symptoms or provide incorrect diagnoses
- Address barriers to treatment such as insurance and cost-related issues. Strategize with other healthcare professionals about alternative possibilities, and talk through the options with your patients.
- Ensure that all the staff in a medical center have a similar understanding of patient care and medical goals! Smooth provision of services is only possible when staff are cooperating and working together from the same understanding
- Emphasize follow-up care, and incorporate follow-up into your treatment plans
- Host seminars and other public education-oriented programs in order to ensure that people have access to medical information and basic prevention strategies
Dr. Dov Rand has found that when working in the field of anti-aging medicine and age management therapies, it is especially important to develop strong relationships with patients because many of them are encountering these therapies for the first time. Since the field of age management is newly expanding and new research is emerging constantly, it’s important to maintain a relationship of trust between the healthcare provider and the patient so that the patient truly understands the treatment options they are exploring. Dr. Dov Rand also recommends thinking about the specific needs of your clientele, for other medical professionals in a very specialized field. Often, other secondary medical needs get overlooked that could be incorporated into preventative strategies or proactive secondary symptom care. Some resources that Dr. Dov Rand recommends for thinking through high quality care provision and barriers to this care include: http://journals.lww.com/ambulatorycaremanagement/Fulltext/2009/01000/Making_High_Quality,_Patient_Centered_Care_a.2.aspx http://depts.washington.edu/uwrhrc/uploads/CHWS_FR131_Patterson.pdf
