Introduction: The Role of The Holding Co. in Caregiving
In an eye-opening episode of the Slice of Healthcare podcast, our host, Jared S. Taylor, sat down with Patrice Martin, co-founder and CEO of The Holding Co. Martin’s company is a design and innovation lab focused on rethinking caregiving. They collaborate with organizations to create better caregiving solutions for families across the care spectrum.
Uncovering the True Nature of Caregivers
Martin believes the work of caregivers is often overlooked and undervalued, hindering women’s full participation in society, the workforce, and the economy. In her role, she encourages us to reevaluate how we think about care and caregiving, stressing the need to create solutions that make caregiving work better for everyone.
Understanding the Caregiver’s Role in Healthcare
In the podcast, Taylor raised an important point about understanding the term “caregiver.” As explained by Martin, caregivers range from professional care providers to family members who help out in their daily lives, from making sure parents take their medication to arranging childcare.
Rethinking Caregiving’s Place in Healthcare
An important aspect of their discussion revolved around the integration of caregiving in healthcare. Healthcare has been largely designed with the patient in mind. However, family caregivers often play a crucial role in health decisions, turning healthcare into a multi-user experience. Acknowledging this, Martin suggests we should rethink the healthcare experience to engage caregivers centrally, which could contribute to more effective and efficient care provision.
Opportunities Ahead in Caregiving
The conversation took an optimistic turn as Martin shared the opportunities she sees in the caregiving space. She imagines a future where caregivers are given more support, tools, and even compensation, recognizing their invaluable work and the mental health challenges they often face. Especially with the shift of many healthcare services to the home, there’s a massive opportunity to intentionally design for caregivers.
Looking Forward: The Holding Co.’s Future Plans
Exciting plans lie ahead for The Holding Co., as they aim to improve all aspects of caregiving, from health intersection to family management and childcare. They are enthusiastic about collaborating with more people and building new solutions for a better caregiving future.
