Description

Inspiring clinicians to embrace accessibility will deliver better patient outcomes. It is vital we consult consumers about their disabilities and about what would make their health experience better. This must include listening to patients' stories and understanding both their abilities and limitations. It's an important step towards an equitable healthcare system. When considering whether or not to offer a patient the choice of face-to-face or Telehealth, reflect on their ability to access healthcare. Patients with a disability require a lot more time and planning to meet the needs of everyday life. People with disabilities face a lot of barriers to equitable healthcare but the biggest barrier is the attitudes and beliefs entrenched in the system. A small step towards embracing the requirements of people with a disability is a large step in the right direction towards equitable healthcare. For more head to: codachange.org/podcasts
