As technology has progressed care in the medical field, there has been a simultaneous advancement in the understanding and application of whole health care. Seeing conditions as more than only a set of physical symptoms has led to a more holistic approach to the health and well being of patients. Through this evolution, the medical community has engaged individuals more fully, as well as begun to take the health and well being of caregivers, and even communities, into account as well.To discuss all this, I (Dr. Luke Pittman) interviewed Dustin Ziegler, the Program Director of Elevance Health. Dustin related his perspective on the evolution of holistic health care, its importance and impact, social determinants of health, and improvements in aging care. As he shared, Dustin also discussed services people often don’t realize exist, influence of incentives in healthcare, caring for caregivers (care coach model), and much more.What You’ll LearnImportance and impact of holistic health careSocial determinants of healthImprovements in aging careServices people often don’t realize existBringing together previously separate servicesInfluence of incentives in healthcareCaring for caregivers (care coach model)Emerging tech, such as remote patient monitoringIncrease in support for dementia progression Recommended ResourcesConnect with Dustin ZieglerDustin Ziegler is the Program Director of Elevance Health, a company that supports health at every life stage, offering health plans and clinical, behavioral, pharmacy, and complex-care solutions that promote whole health.Fueled by their bold purpose to improve the health of humanity, Elevance Health is a leading health company dedicated to improving lives and communities, and making healthcare simpler.
