Chances are you know a caregiver

Give them grace, give them support, but mostly give them relief.

"Previous research suggests that family caregivers are at risk for poorer emotional and mental health, sleep quality, and family relationships [4,5,6]. Primary caregivers tend to have higher care burden, mental distress, and financial stress, as well as lower quality of life... "

3 Reasons NOT to ignore your low performers

1️⃣Compromised patient care and safety
2️⃣ Financial drain and damage to your practice reputation
3️⃣ When low performance goes unaddressed, high performing employees often bear the brunt of the workload

🫶🏾Private practice physicians, our healthcare model needs a shift.

The current system is built around reactive care. But as policies evolve (like H.R.1) & patient concerns grow, more individuals are delaying essential visits, leading to avoidable emergencies & poorer outcomes.

But what if your practice could reverse this trend?

Imagine a future where you’re not just treating illness but actively preventing it. Where your patients experience better health, mentally and physically, and significantly reducing hospitalizations, mortality rates, and dramatically increasing patient satisfaction with the care they receive.

Focusing on the patient not just the diagnosis, and recognizing no two patients are alike:

🌟 Culturally, Ethnically, Socially, Spiritually, Symptomatically

The Impact is Profound:
✅For your patients: better health outcomes, enhanced quality of life, & reduced long-term healthcare costs.

✅For their families: alleviated mental and physical burdens on dedicated caregivers, fostering healthier, more resilient families.

✅For your practice: deeper patient trust, stronger loyalty, & a reputation for truly comprehensive, compassionate care.

By shifting to "well-care" with personalized screenings, proactive wellness plans, and transparent long-term care discussions, you empower patients and their families.

🙌🏽Don't forget to have tangible resources, referrals, and mindful that your conversation doesn't require a medical dictionary.

This isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the most effective strategy we have to reduce unnecessary acute interventions.

I explore this shift further in my latest blog post www.harmonypartnerships.com

Harmony Partnerships specializes in helping private practices like yours create a truly patient-centric environment, integrating holistic prevention, and empowering your team through comprehensive learning. 💙

🚨Employees Want Career Growth!

A big reason why employees quit jobs is because of a lack of professional development opportunities. About a third of workers who left their jobs in 2021 cited no career advancement opportunities as their reason for leaving.

'“For company longevity, there should be a clear career path,” she said. “My overarching belief is that more money has to be invested in self-management, ethics, communication (written and verbal) and leadership skills.”' Source: https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/10092-encourage-professional-development.html

Collectively, statistics demonstrate that growth and opportunity are not just desired by healthcare workers, but are fundamental to their job satisfaction, retention, and the overall quality and efficiency of healthcare services.

Businesses investing in employee well-being and mental health often see an average return of $4 for every $1 spent, driven by reduced absenteeism and higher productivity (WHO via MedCircle, 2025; Forbes, 2024).

🫶🏽 As a healthcare consultant, I champion patient-centered care, moving beyond the one-size-fits-all approach often seen in larger systems.

What I hope for you is that this commitment means not only understanding a patient's medical history but also their unique life context, including cultural nuances.

When it comes to exercise, a simple question like, "Do you exercise for 150 minutes per week?" falls short, especially for women over 40 in the South Asian community.

I’ve visited both my primary and specialists 5 x in the last 6 months.

I’ve been asked this question all 5 of those visits, and it’s made me think more about the lack of cultural considerations and the need for a deeper dive into the standard of care.

Research indicates that South Asian women may face unique cultural and social barriers to engaging in diverse forms of physical activity beyond walking:

🌟Modesty and facility access

🌟Prioritizing family responsibilities

🌟Misconceptions about exercise

🌟Lack of awareness

A small study done in Canada on SA women & the social ecological model that affects their decisions on physical activity PMCID: PMC9410550 PMID: 36007081

Personal note:

I don’t ever remember my mom sitting. She was on the go constantly, and she took daily walks through the hills of our neighborhood for years.

She always talked about getting “skinny” (rooted in our culture).

At one point, I had bought her 1lb weights to use on her walks. It was what I knew 20 years ago.

She used them for a hot minute

Diagnosed with osteoporosis at 68. She had fallen and fractured her arm. It was her first bone density scan.

She has fallen twice since, with two separate fractures.

Today she is 85, bedridden, frail, next to no muscle mass.

In private practice, you can do what large hospitals don’t - fill that gap by discussing more in depth the unseen challenge of the relationship b/t hormonal shifts & bone health and starting these conversations sooner rather than later.

How do you fill this critical education gap in your practice?

4 easy ways gauge true employee satisfaction⬇️

1️⃣Regular, Anonymous Surveys: Implement periodic surveys that allow employees to share their thoughts honestly without fear of reprisal. Focus on areas like workload, communication, management support, and opportunities for growth.

2️⃣"Stay Interviews": Instead of just exit interviews, (not a fan of these at all) conduct "stay interviews" with current, valued employees. Ask them what keeps them at your practice, what they enjoy, and what could be improved. This proactive approach shows you care and helps identify potential issues before they lead to turnover.

3️⃣Open-Door Policy with Purpose: While an open-door policy is good, ensure it's truly utilized. Encourage managers to actively solicit feedback during one-on-one meetings, making it safe for employees to voice concerns and ideas.

4️⃣Observe Engagement: Pay attention to non-verbal cues. Are employees actively participating in meetings? Do they offer suggestions for improvement? Are they collaborating effectively? High engagement is a strong indicator of satisfaction.

Given that April is National Stress Awareness Month and May is Mental Health Awareness Month, the intersection of these observances makes this an opportune time to discuss the increasing difficulties experienced by family caregivers.

🤗Most likely, you or someone you know is providing some level of care to a loved one.

In fact, ~53 mil U.S. adults are family caregivers, & their responsibilities extend well beyond basic tasks.

Caregiving frequently involves a myriad of time-consuming & exhausting duties all while navigating a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings.

But this isn’t just about stats, this about real people who out of the 1 in 5 US adults of unpaid family caregivers, are disproportionately women in their 50s -60s.

What’s happening to these warrior women?

Burnout rates are at an all-time high because ⬇️

They are having to choose balancing a full-time career & full-time caregiving or reducing work hours or leaving the workforce all together. (not just entry level employees, but managers & CEO's too)

A few decide to start a business, but even with all the time in the world, growing a business is unbelievably challenging.

And ofc, those who cannot work have no earnings, loss of financial freedom, flexibility, & their own retirement savings have ceased. Not to mention respite/caregiving costs are astronomical, without funds, there is no respite care.

In this age group, women are also most likely dealing with their own physical & mental health by neglecting their health all together.

Caregiving is isolating. Most don’t & won’t want to ask for help, for fear of burdening others, caused by guilt and shame.

They are juggling their own family or taking care of more than one LO.

It really does take a village
Here's how⬇️

Visit, sit, chat, bring the drinks, snacks, & ear to listen or even better, walk & talk
Help do some of the "grunt work"
Cook some food, drop it off.
Gift them gift cards & offer to sit with the LO while they go out.
Offer to give them regular respite care.
Call to just listen. No advice, no judgement.

What drives high turnover in your practice? 🤔 I've seen it firsthand.

💔 Here's my story: From 2017-2019, I experienced toxic management, micromanagement, and lack of support in two senior roles.

💔Despite my expertise and achievements, I was ignored, undervalued, and eventually forced to leave.

It was heartbreaking to leave roles that I had worked so hard to achieve for many years...but

🤕 The final straw was when I became a caregiver for my mom and received no support from leadership.

Side note ‼ my leadership team was predominantly female. There were no women supporting women there.

🥺This led to burnout and then...

✌🏽I ultimately quit the workforce in 2019.

💙I started Harmony Partnerships to focus on building happy and motivated teams, and to help cultivate a patient-centered practice and employee well-being. One that encourages transparency, communication, and supports growth for their employees.

💯Because excellent patient care starts with a positive employee experience.

What can you do to prevent this in your practice? 👇🏽

🚨I am scared to death of what the next 10 years is going to look like for those in their 50s -60s now.

Video TLDR:
➡️Alarming trend of PE firms & large corps acquiring hospice & LTC facilities, often prioritizing profit over patient well-being & care.
➡️PE firms are already grabbing real estate and private practices, and have been coming for LTC , home health, & hospice agencies more aggressively over the last 5 years. Why?
➡️According to this video by CNBC, LTC is worth 577billion dollars, and end of life care - 145billion.

And how does that affect the aging population?

⬇️ ️ Cost cutting/staffing
⬆️️ ER visits
⬆️ mortality rates.

Do we want our loved ones, or ourselves being cared for by for-profit greedy owners, who’s primary focus is to make MORE $$?

Caregiving agencies run by private entities who:

🫠Don’t understand the importance of a patient centric model
🫠Don’t care that it takes a village to care for a sick, dying or mentally declining loved one.
🫠Probably have never had to care for a family member or be cared for by a bunch of strangers that you have to trust & rely on for their knowledge, empathy, and continuity.
🫠Who know nothing about patient & families overwhelmed by medical issues and caregiving duties, who are in desperate need of respite

If the mission of these agencies isn't founded on the patient centric model, people who need care will just continue to go through a gamut of trials and tribulations from untrained and inattentive caregivers, to scheduling issues, to ridiculously high rates that very few can afford.

This raises a critical question: as private practice doctors, can you offer a better alternative?

Instead of lamenting the erosion of patient-centered care, let's explore how you can strategically expand your practice or invest in home healthcare, hospice, and long-term care facilities.

This isn't just a business opportunity; it's a moral imperative.

This is also deeply personal to me 💙

If you’ve been thinking about expanding your practice/services, please reach out. I would love to help you get there.
