    Dr. Jeff Panzer - Direct Primary Care

    Today on the show host Steve Ordower sits down with Dr. Jeff Panzer, who recently started his own Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic in Evanston, IL - BRIDGE DIRECT CARE - focused on building relationships with his patients. This is a transformative paradigm that allows doctors to deliver health care in a genuine way, not dictated by the profit motive structure imposed by insurance companies. A great deal of health care in the U.S. is called "managed care", but it may as well be called "managed profits," and this Direct Primary Care model is in direct contrast to this. If you've been realizing how upside down our health care system is in our country, this conversation may give you some hope and inspiration. Dr. Panzer talked about getting back to a way in which his father practiced health care - it was all about relationships, and this paradigm is bringing back the humaneness to health care. There are quite a few doctors embracing the DPC model across the U.S., and this episode will give some insight into how it works. This is also one of the interviews that will be part of our INCENTIVES series, that looks at incentive structures in our society that lead to detrimental outcomes. The goal of the series is to identify these structures as a first step to transforming them. Below you'll find Dr. Panzer's philosophy, background, information about his clinic, the DPC model, as well as some insightful articles that were discussed in this episode - one of which Dr. Panzer co-authored. " I love family medicine because it allows me to build meaningful relationships with patients and improve people’s lives. In a traditional doctor’s office, however, I was spending too much time on my computer and struggling with insurance companies and the confusing health care system. I didn’t have enough time to provide the care and attention that my patients needed. I knew there had to be a better way–and that is why I started Bridge Direct Care. I believe that health care is not a product that is given to a patient. It is something that doctors and patients create together. This requires trusting long-term relationships and patient empowerment. Patients deserve to have their needs met quickly and respectfully by someone they know and trust. "  Dr. Jeff Panzer is a family physician and has been practicing in Chicago since 2010. He attended Temple University School of Medicine and did his family medicine residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He later received his Master’s degree in healthcare quality and patient safety from Northwestern University.   Since graduating residency in 2009, Dr. Jeff has worked both caring for patients and at the system level to try to bring relationships back to the forefront of healthcare where they rightfully belong. He continues to work part-time as the vice president of care transformation for Tapestry 360 Health (a federally-qualified health center on the northside of Chicago) and the physician innovator at AllianceChicago. He previously served as a medical director at a health center in rural Ethiopia, and as a practice transformation consultant at the American Medical Association (AMA). He can provide patient care in English and Spanish.  Outside of the office, Dr. Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, running, beach volleyball, reading, camping, and coaching his children’s sports teams. A Different Way, Better Care Bridge Direct Care provides family medicine services that put you first. Dr. Jeff and his team offer comprehensive primary care that is accessible, affordable, and personalized. By using a low-cost membership model, we can provide better care by building closer, stronger relationships with our patients and addressing health needs more quickly and effectively. info@bridgedirectcare.com | 847-474-9559 https://www.bridgedirectcare.com/ Direct Primary Care (DPC): Direct Primary Care video My DPC practice: Bridge Direct Care

    Stephan Garnett - journalist

    INSIDE ROBERT TAYLOR project: https://youtu.be/bprhTUZIOCg Today on the show host Steve Ordower welcomes his friend and colleague, journlist Stephan Garnett - who is wrapping up a long and distinguished carreer teaching at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.  They discussed a myriad of issues, including the state of journalism today and the incentive structures that are influential in creating the current media landscape in the U.S.  The conversation touched on how destructive the current media landscape is to fostering productive conversation, and those that put a good-faith effort forward to cultivate nuanced conversation are often-times vilified.  They also touched on how certain words have become triggers in the public arena, such as "woke" or "PC," as well as the comedic brilliance of Dave Chappelle and the use of the N-word.  And, Garnett discussed some of the remarkable projects he has worked on, as well as the journalists that have come through his classroom - which includes the late James Foley who was captured in 2012 and killed in 2014  while covering the Syrian civil war. Stephan Garnett has a 30-year career as a journalist. In addition to working as a suburban and community reporter, he has been an investigative reporter for The Chicago Reporter, and an urban and police reporter for the City News Bureau of Chicago. He spent 14 years as a magazine feature writer and editor, first for ShopTalk, a trade publication, then as a contributing writer to Dollars & Sense and Blackbook magazines. More recently, Garnett has worked in radio, film and television. He has researched and consulted for documentaries produced by the BBC and CNN and has been an essayist for "Chicago Matters," an acclaimed local Public Radio community series. In 2005, Garnett executive produced and wrote and narrated the script for a 15-minute multi-media documentary on the last building left standing at Robert Taylor Homes, once the largest public housing project in the nation. Garnett teaches Journalism Methods for graduates and Media Convergence for undergraduates. He also edits for the Medill News Service and has served as an adviser for Medill's Global Journalism program. #rhythmoflife   #podcast #podcasts #podcastshow #podcasting #media #press #thepress #journalism  #president #steveordower #bobhercules #media #medianews #news #press #incentives #davechappelle
