Listen to “Virtual Primary Care in Women's Health” as we discuss the following: 

In this podcast, we talk about all things women’s health. What are these physicians seeing on the front lines in women’s health? Listen as Carrie Chitsey, Dr. Sina Haeri, and Dr. Annelise Swigert discuss how women’s health has changed over the past few years from communication preferences to certain generational changes. Dr. Sina Haeri talks about today’s generational patient. From being more “tech-savvy” and showing less loyalty to an OB/GYN to self-empowerment. Dr. Annelise Swigert is also seeing that Millennial patients are looking for technological advances from their healthcare providers. She details how customer experience plays a larger role in selection criteria for an OB/GYN and/or primary care provider than loyalty. We are seeing more mergers and consolidation with big health systems of local practices. What top things should local OB/GYNs be thinking about to stay competitive and deepen relationships within their local community? Dr. Sina Haeri has been using virtual care in women's health and telehealth for some time now. Listen as he talks about how telehealth can improve work/life balance. How is AccessPhysicans reducing the maternal mortality rate in rural areas? Listen as Dr. Haeri explains how AccessPhysicians can cut down moms traveling out of rural areas to see a subspecialist to 3%. By improving access to care it will bring down maternal mortality. With the Millennial and Gen Z generations, are PCPs and OB/GYNs still as important as previous generations felt? The relationship with the physician will not be as solidified as in past generations. As Dr. Haeri highlights, telehealth is not meant for all appointment types and consultations. Listen as he and Dr. Swigert give insight on what they believe are good that can be done virtually in prenatal care, OBGYN and women’s health. From chronic disease management and contraceptive counseling hear other use cases these physicians feel that can be done virtually. Dr. Swigert details how telehealth can be huge for women’s mental health. With postpartum depression, virtual care should be a priority for your practice. As always, we ask these doctor’s “What’s keeping them up at night?” Want to learn more about AccessPhysicians?
