NYAPRS Note: As health strategists and large provider systems continue to search for ways to keep people out of hospitals while improving the overall client experience and public health, self-care has emerged as a vital aspect of payment and program reform. Dr. Pat Deegan—building off of her concept of assumed risk as a way to transform health care—offers a webinar through the STAR center about the importance of self-care, how to achieve it, and how it can contribute to overall metrics of success.
Title: Self-Care is Primary Care
Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Time: 2 – 3:30 p.m. ET
Presenter: Patricia E. Deegan, Ph.D, Principal, Pat Deegan & Associates, LLC.
Description: When When we think of primary care, we think of the office, nurses and physicians we visit for our annual physical and routine health needs. In this webinar Patricia E. Deegan, PhD will flip the notion of primary care and argue that self-care is primary care. Using examples from her own recovery and that of others, she will explain how flipping healthcare in this way defines new roles for individuals, families and staff. New skills and new measurable outcomes will also be described.
