Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter ("Take Charge of Your Health with Concierge Care"). In this segment the speaker argues that concierge and cash-based practices can offer more resources and personalized roadmaps, and emphasizes encouraging patients to take agency for their health rather than delivering generic primary-care admonitions.
Because we can offer many more resources than a patient is used to.
Encouraging people to take agency for their own health is really what the message should be. Right? We really need to be able to encourage people to take agency, but not like primary care. Dr. Oh, you need to eat healthy, you need to not smoke, you need to lose some weight. We need to give people a roadmap. I think that's an argument for concierge medicine. I think that's an argument for the way that we do things in a cash based practice because we can offer many more resources than a patient is used to.
