Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. You put into words so much of how I feel about medicine and the care we currently provide and care we would hope to provide to patients. I love seeing patients through Maven, because I am unencumbered by an EMR and can truly sit, listen and advise patients, taking as much time as they need.
Thank you so much Kathryn! We're grateful to have you as part of the Maven community and excited to keep building for our providers and the families we serve in 2022 :)
i’m an obgyn. i’ve trained at top institutions. i’ve provided direct patient care throughout the COVID pandemic. as a combat to my potential personal burnout/moral injuaryi applied to work with maven. i was told there was not a need for another obgyn within this platform. since that inquiry i have found another path that resonates with my purpose. however i wonder about the sincerity of maven. is it really looking to change this system or is it just capitalizing on an industry that is ripen for telehealth? an industry on the path to burn its providers of carw? i am inspired by many, but one that comes to mind at this time is tracy gaudet spearheading the whole health institute. i hope that maven will prove to be as inspiring. we definitely need change within the health care system and the persons who will suffer the most if we don’t change is the women we aim to serve.
Thank you for your comment, Ayaba. I am glad to hear you have found a path that aligns with your values. We are working hard at Maven to build a care model that serves both members and providers, and are always striving to learn and do better. I wish you well in your practice. Neel
Hi Neal, Hope you remember me from the University of Hawaii. This is an exciting project! I'm at a crossroads in my career. How can I get more involved? Tod Aeby, MD, Med, FACOG
Reading this is a ray of light in a dark night. I am a family doctor with a specialty in women’s health and a mother of 4 who survived near death with my last delivery 1 year ago. A focus on maternal/child health in this country is long overdue. Women and their health and well-being are the canaries in the coal mine and never has it been more clear how much we are ailing. And yet women are asked to do more and more - homeschool kids, scramble for childcare, balance or even step back from careers for which we have worked long and hard. I am encouraged that Maven is putting a spotlight on these issues and working to improve them. I believe that primary care- family medicine- has a big role here. Women and families need continuity of care that can move seamlessly from prenatal care to post partum and beyond. I look forward to hearing more from Maven and hope to be able to collaborate.
Aurelie, thank you so much for writing. Your thinking very much aligns with my own: maternal health is a bellwether for societal health. And I completely agree with your comment on the role of family medicine. Maven is focused on building a comprehensive service that delivers longitudinal care for our members and creates a rewarding, relationship-based provider experience. I’m excited to have you in this community and look forward to sharing more -- Neel
Thanks for talking about moral injury and provider mental health. As an RN, IBCLC for 30 years now, I see it on a regular basis in the birthing industry. Please continue to talk about this...it is SO important to bring into the light. It was bad prior to the pandemic, and COVID-19 in all it's forms has magnified the burnout.
I look forward to your newsletter and more Maven innovations!
As a genetic counselor, The NY Times article on NIPT hit home. For many of us working in this space, it feels like the article sensationalizes what the outcomes of these tests could be and fails to dive into the intent of the test as a screening (not diagnostic) test- however, the big point I feel we need to emphasize and that we can’t ignore is that many people ordering the test and taking the test are led to believe that it’s a test that gives you more concrete information than it can. And this is where the disconnect is. What we need to solve or improve on, is the discussion (or lack of) that people are having about this test.
Ushta, thank you so much for sharing. I 100% agree and the article really highlights how critical counselors are in helping patients understand complex and sometimes difficult information and making informed decisions. Grateful to have you as part of the Maven community.
