Should physicians consider the psychological status of patients more when developing and delivering treatment plans? What knowledge barriers are there to this? And how can these barriers be overcome?
These questions lie at the heart of what John Kane has been pursuing as a healthcare communications and education expert for more than 30 years.
As Managing Director of MedThink Communications, having run his own agency for 17 years, he works with the simple mission to "turn information into outcomes."
In this episode of The Top Line podcast, John explores the link between a proper understanding of psychological factors and likely success of treatments. The conversation then moves on to discussing some of the key challenges faced by the medical industry in leveling the playing field between biological and psychological knowledge. Effective education and communication, he says, are a fundamental part of any solution.
