In our third guest episode for the?Health Impact Project, we invited our friend Grace Cordovano, PhD, BCPA, to discuss the value of healthcare technology from her perspective as a patient advocate: https://lnkd.in/grHqzDiG During this conversation, Dr. Cordovano speaks to her experiences working with patients, noting the toll of patient administrative work, the impact of financial toxicity, and the role of technology in improving access to care – in particular clinical trials for cancer treatment. Most of our discussion can be summarized in one particularly compelling statement that Grace made, and which underlies much of her policy-focused work: anything in healthcare that touches the patient should be aligned with giving that individual a competitive advantage against their diagnosis. It's pretty shocking to realize how simple a framing that is, yet how much is actually captured in that simplicity. Be sure to tune in to hear the full discussion and learn more about all the amazing work that Grace does, and the potent lessons she's taken away from her advocacy. #patientadvocacy #podcast #healthcare #healthIT
