Integrative Care to Positively Impact Health - Trisha Swift

The Balanced Being Podcast with Gunny Sodhi

Today my guest is Trisha Swift. She is a whole person care expert, and she has an interesting perspective on integrative medicine that I want to share with you. She is a passionate healthcare executive with a mission to transform healthcare into a data driven, high value, safe, and cost-effective delivery system.

Trisha began her career as a bedside care nurse and continued her education to the Doctorate level, where she got to experience a lot of the sick care side of things and about a decade ago she transitioned into the quality and safety realm. She began working to improve things and prevent infections, prevent harm and reduce errors. Upon analyzing the data and performance of the healthcare system, she realized that things were not getting better. Seeing that we are still in disease management; symptom management modality in healthcare led Trisha into the preventative side of the healthcare industry but she still wanted to help, improve and transform so she started looking at the root of the problems - what is making us sick in the first place?

Trisha shares following with us:

• Her experience working on the quality and safety side of healthcare
  
• How her training has led her to a more holistic approach to healthcare
  
• The “Whole Person Care” model
  
• How the pandemic is affecting our health?
  

Trisha has a passion for using data and technology to drive improvement, organizational transformation, cost savings, and informed decision making. She strives to create a person centered and holistic care delivery infrastructure in order to positively impact health and wellbeing across populations.
