Healthcare delivery not only impacts your experiences at your health care center but can also affect your treatment outcomes. Processes and procedures are put in place at health care facilities to attempt to standardize and regulate things like wait times, coordination of care across members of your team, and referrals. However, there are still ways to improve this care delivery to improve your care experience. 

Dr. Mohana Roy from Stanford joined GO2’s April 2024 Lung Cancer Living Room to discuss what you should expect at your healthcare center, what processes and quality improvements can be put into place to improve your experience, and how these measures relate to better outcomes for people who are receiving treatment for lung cancer.

Speakers:   
  • Mohana Roy, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor, Associate Medical Director – Cancer Quality,  Stanford Department of Medicine – Oncology 
  • Danielle Hicks, Chief Patient Officer, GO2 for Lung Cancer   
Discussed in this episode:   
  • GO2 for Lung Cancer’s HelpLine offers one-on-one support to help you understand your diagnosis and treatment, and connect you with other resources and support you might need as you navigate your lung cancer diagnosis.    
  • A multidisciplinary care team is a group of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals working together to provide high quality, coordinated care.  
  • Knowing what questions to ask your healthcare team can help you prepare for meetings with them and make the best decisions about your care.
