In this enlightening episode of “REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser,” we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Monique Nugent, a dedicated hospitalist and physician leader based in Weymouth, Massachusetts. With an impressive background that includes medical school and residency training at Loma Linda University Medical Center and a master’s degree from the Harvard School of Public Health, Dr. Nugent specializes in hospital medicine, focusing exclusively on the care of hospitalized patients. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Nugent shared her deep insights into the world of hospital medicine, the evolution of the hospitalist role, and her passion for patient safety and advocacy.

Dr. Nugent discussed her book, Prescription for Admission: A Doctor’s Guide to Navigating the Hospital, Advocating for Yourself, and Having a Better Hospitalization, highlighting the importance of preparation, planning, and self-advocacy for patients facing hospitalization. She offered valuable advice on how patients can navigate the healthcare system more effectively, including the significance of having a care partner, the role of advanced directives, and strategies for dealing with difficult situations or disagreements with healthcare providers.

Furthermore, Dr. Nugent emphasized the importance of patient feedback, explaining how hospitals use surveys to improve patient care and experience. She encouraged patients to voice their concerns and experiences, underscoring the impact of such feedback on healthcare quality and provider reimbursement.
