[VIDEO PODCAST] Ep 05: Implementing a Transportation Hub

A physician and administrator champion at Cone Health Cancer Center talk about why it’s more important than ever to make transportation assistance available to patients with cancer and how these services help improve health outcomes and the patient experience. Hear how an awareness of social determinants of health can improve health equity and reduce disparities, and how to make the business case to gain buy-in from hospital and healthcare leadership.

For those looking to implement a similar program, our guests suggest a three-prong approach: develop your playbook, build your infrastructure, and then pilot your program before scaling it up.

“As you think about the health disparities, it’s not a broad-brush stroke. It's very individualized. We’ve got to screen and understand the needs of individuals. So, when we talk about personalized medicine, it could be the clinical side, it could be the medical side. It’s also the social determinants of healthcare. So, it’s understanding those individuals to give them the best care they need medically, clinically, and/or otherwise."

This vodcast is supported by the ACCC Financial Advocacy Network, the leader in professional development training, tools, and resources that empower providers to integrate financial health into the care continuum and help patients gain access to affordable, high-quality cancer care.
