The social determinants of health: A conversation with Mike Leavitt

Anne Pendo, MD, Internist and Medical Director for the Experience of Care and Clinical Integration, talks with Joshua Romney, MD, Internist at Memorial Clinic about how using and continually improving patient advisories and other tools within our electronic medical record as well as resources like team huddles—allow us to close care gaps and address needs to keep our patients healthy and out of the hospital.

Scott Stevens, MD, Medical Director of the new Medical Specialties Clinical Program about the ways in which specialists within the program can better collaborate and share best practices across Intermountain. Physicians and clinicians in dermatology, endocrinology, infectious disease, nephrology, rheumatology, pain medicine, pulmonary, and sleep medicine now have a clear home, the opportunity for improved professional satisfaction, and the tools to improve care for patients.
