Navigating the complex world of healthcare can be daunting, especially when juggling multiple doctors, appointments, and health records. But what if there was a way to simplify this process and ensure that caregivers, patients, and medical professionals are all on the same page? Enter Ursamin.
In a recent episode of Unlimited Access, Levi and Shannon Aylesworth, the CEO of Ursamin, delved deep into the challenges caregivers and the medical community face. They discussed a research article from the National Library of Medicine titled “Family Physicians and Primary Care Teams Perspectives on Supporting Family Caregivers in Primary Care Networks.” The title might be a mouthful, but the insights are invaluable.
Key Takeaways from the Discussion:
