Video Summary
In this webinar, Dr. Cali-Zou and Dr. Archita Desai discussed barriers and considerations in access to cirrhosis care. Dr. Zou focused on safety net hospitals and healthcare affordability, highlighting the challenges and disparities that patients face in these settings. Safety net hospitals are defined as those that provide care to uninsured, Medicaid, and other vulnerable patients. Dr. Zou discussed how safety net care can be costly and come with lower margins, leading to challenges in providing high-quality care. She emphasized the importance of safety net systems in providing essential services to vulnerable populations, but noted the lack of consensus on how to define a safety net hospital or system. Dr. Zou also highlighted the impact of poverty on liver-related mortality, emphasizing the need for addressing socioeconomic disparities in liver disease. Dr. Desai focused on the impact of health literacy and knowledge-related barriers in cirrhosis care. She discussed how health literacy relates to a patient's ability to understand and apply health information to make informed decisions about their own healthcare. Dr. Desai presented her work on developing a knowledge questionnaire called My Cirrhosis Coach, which measures patients' knowledge in areas such as medication access, understanding of medications, and salt use in cirrhosis care. She emphasized the potential of targeted education interventions to improve knowledge and ultimately improve health outcomes in patients with cirrhosis. Overall, the webinar highlighted the importance of addressing barriers and disparities in access to cirrhosis care, and the potential of targeted interventions to improve outcomes for patients.
