Physician Partnerships at Topography Health

I work very closely with our physicians at Topography Health (and have worked with physicians my entire career at both Flatiron Health and Epic). It's one of my favorite parts of my job. It’s also the best way to stay close to the challenges they face in today’s complex healthcare market. And while it is true that physician burnout is on the rise (for very valid reasons), the majority of doctors that I know don’t want to leave patient care. So, you can imagine how I feel when I see services emerging that help physicians “pivot” their careers away from practicing standard of care medicine and into only industry-sponsored research, as though it is a separate field entirely. Don’t get me wrong—industry-sponsored research is incredibly complex and requires different tools and support, but it does not have to be separate from practicing medicine, and in fact I don't think it should be. Enrolling in a trial is an intimate care decision between patient and provider, and offering trials in your organization as an extension of standard of care can be the next step in your patients’ journey. Additionally, from a business perspective, offering clinical trials inside your organization—whether you go it alone or seek the support of external partners—keeps the patient close to their trusted medical team and prevents unnecessary transitions of care. Thoughts? #clinicaltrials #trials #clinicalresearch
