In this episode, we talk to Claire Unis. She reflects on her experiences as a pediatrician and how small moments of contentment and satisfaction, like seeing a healthy baby or a budding tree, led her to realize the importance of an aesthetic appreciation in her practice. She shares the story of a newborn patient whose appearance led her to suspect a serious condition and how her medical training and experience allows her to recognize when something is awry just by looking at a patient. As trained scientists, physicians also have a trained aesthetic appreciation and the ability to recognize when something is wrong.

Claire Unis is a pediatrician and author of Balance, Pedal, Breathe: A Journey Through Medical School.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “Aesthetics and the physician’s eye.”

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients.

At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
