Medicaid: More Time for Patients Means Greater Success
In this video, Dr. Gates addresses a common concern in the healthcare industry regarding patient care utilization. Typically, there is a prevailing belief that controlling how often patients visit healthcare facilities can help manage costs and resources. However, Dr. Gates adopts a notably different approach. He explains that contrary to popular belief, sick patients require more—not less—interaction with healthcare professionals to truly improve their health conditions.
The key insight from Dr. Gates revolves around our policy: patients are encouraged to visit twice as often as they normally would in a conventional healthcare setting. The rationale is straightforward yet revolutionary. By frequenting the clinic more often, patients face no barriers in seeking the care they need. This accessibility allows for better disease management, closer monitoring of treatment progress, and a deeper, more empathetic understanding between the patient and their medical providers.
