GREAT HEALTHCARE TAKES TEAMWORK

2 MIN READ

Just as family offices partner up with wealth and legal advisors to assemble a dream team for their clients, it is important to ensure your medical team is optimized and communicating to mitigate health risks. 

Why a team makes a difference

A strong, connected team gives providers efficient access to more expertise. The same principle rings true with other healthcare programs: a geriatrician with a hearing specialist on staff, a mental health program with a neuropsychologist on staff, or a nursing home with a podiatrist on staff.  When a patient is choosing a new doctor, most look at them as an individual. The next time you need a doctor, it’s a good idea to broaden your perspective and consider the whole team.

Collective collateral matters

Health advisors are often sought after for assistance in finding top doctors in a particular area or determining the best hospital or facility to meet specific needs. Before any recommendations are made, a thorough vetting process is conducted. One key factor considered is the depth of the medical team, as it significantly impacts the quality of patient care. When a cross-disciplinary team works well together, their collective intelligence leads to better solutions.

Managing your medical team

If you don't have a cohesive medical team in place, it doesn't mean you have to find new doctors. Just keep the value of a team in mind as you make decisions about your health care in the future.

Many healthcare providers are busy and may struggle to give each patient the individual attention they need. For a customized and personal approach to your health, consider working with an expert health advisor. They will ensure you have access to top-tier providers and will communicate directly with them to streamline your care. Additionally, a health advisor collaborates with other professionals on your team, such as your wealth advisor, attorney, and accountant, to provide comprehensive support. By coordinating your healthcare, a health advisor allows you to focus on other important aspects of your life.
