12: Poetry vs Prose

Healthcare at Its Best: MRI on Tuesday, Surgery on Thursday, Home on Friday

Lee Aase is a digital healthcare pioneer and a social media expert. Now, he's a healthcare entrepreneur as co-founder of HELPCare Clinic, a membership-based direct primary care clinic. His current work is particularly relevant for this conversation because we talk about why there hasn't been an episode of DigitaLee recently: Lee's recent back surgery. We discuss how the referral process went, the seamless handoff from his primary care physician to the surgery team at Mayo Clinic. Plus, thoughts on where digital comes into play with a good streamlined care continuum.

These days it's a cryptocurrency scam on LinkedIn that's costing people tens of thousands of dollars.

This week, we're doing something a bit different. We keep referencing the fact that, after retiring from the Mayo Clinic, Lee Aase now spends his time as a healthcare entrepreneur. And we've mentioned the clinic that he and a physician friend started. But what, exactly, are they up to? How is Lee's work today informed by his two-plus decades in healthcare working on connecting the digital and physical elements of the industry to deliver better care? That's today's conversation. We look at the new venture, called HELPCare Clinic [https://helpcare.health], and talk about the why and how of this membership model of primary care. https://helpcare.health

This week, former head of social and digital at Mayo Clinic Lee Aase and Jarrard's David Shifrin talk about recent mass shootings, including those in medical facilities in Dayton and at St. Francis in Tulsa. We're horrified by what's happening, and there's so much to deal with here, but because this podcast is focused on helping healthcare marketing teams in their roles as the voice of the organization, we talk about some things that digital marketing and communications pros can do to help guide messages around the issue of gun violence.
