Patient Advocacy's Role in Healthcare with Rebecca Lord

THE DOCTOR WEIGHS IN

Today, we will be speaking to Rebecca Lord, VP of UX at Medullan, a Boston-based digital health consultancy. In this episode, Rebecca will be focusing on the role of patient advocacy in healthcare: partnering with patient organizations to offer the support, context, and guidance that individuals need after receiving their test results for specific diseases and partnering with well-known organizations (like Susan G. Komen for breast cancer-related diagnoses, for example), which could provide the credibility and specificity needed to deal with these kinds of results.
