[MUSIC PLAYING] My name is Grace Barry LaShore, also known as Dr. LaShore. I've been at University of Chicago since 2015. I'm an internal medicine physician, and I do both inpatient and outpatient medicine. So I see patients who are medically complex, and I see them while they're in the hospital, and then we provide continuity of care and see them in the clinic as well.
I chose to become a physician because I came from a medically underserved area in New York City. And I wanted to be able to use my skills to be able to rectify that problem and be able to provide care in similar types of communities.
What drew me to University of Chicago is the Comprehensive Care Program. So it's part of a study looking at models of care for medically complex patients. And I thought it was really innovative in a way to be able to retain both of my inpatient skills and my outpatient skills and build really deep relationships with my patients.
When I meet a patient, I like to quickly be able to connect with them and be able to form deep relationships not only with them, but with anyone who is really involved in their medical care, whether it's a family or a caregiver. And I like to think about not only what their medical problems are, but what the patient's goals are and what their challenges are and try to meet them where they at to be able to come up with a plan that best addresses their medical needs, but also addresses their goals.
As part of the Comprehensive Care Program, I'm actually the Director of Clinical Operations. So not only do I get to provide one-on-one care with my patients, but I have the opportunity to be able to help shape the program and think more broadly about how we provide care as a program. And thinking about quality improvements. How do we improve the way that we're delivering our care? And so it allows me to not only provide patient care directly, but to think about more broadly, how do we, as an organization do better?
