We currently have one dietitian, Leslie B. Typically, a patient will see one of our medical providers first before deciding the patient needs to also see Leslie. Please read a welcome message from Leslie below:
Welcome aboard team Amaze!!!
My name is Leslie, and I am here to assist you with any nutrition health and wellness-related areas of concern.
As you assist clients with various medical needs, chances are there is a nutrition component that may assist with managing the diagnosis, like HTN, CKD, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Obesity, Sleep, anxiety, depression apnea, GERD, GOUT, cancer, eating disorder, Celiac dx, and more.
Based on one’s past medical history, current diagnosis, medications, work environment, personal food preferences, socioeconomic status, education, health goals, etc., each client has a special ‘nutrition thumbprint’, so recommendations should be tailored accordingly.
I am here for you, as a ‘behind the scenes approach’ to support the success of your clients. Please contact me via chat so we can discuss their personalized needs, or pass along any client ( soft-hand approach) that you feel would benefit from additional nutrition intervention.
Leslie will consult with medical providers “behind the scenes” to help guide treatment, but for many patients, Leslie will schedule time to meet with the patient. We prefer that patients continue to see their medical provider at Amaze while working with Leslie for a collaborative approach.
For providers: Please consult with Leslie in a private message regarding the patient and if you would like for Leslie to reach out to the patient, please press the “Nutrition Referral” button on the Task board. This will send a copy of the task to Leslie’s intake board but will keep your task exactly where it currently is on the board. No need to duplicate the task before sending.
For Patient Advocates: If a patient is already seeing Leslie, and very clearly responding to one of her messages, please assign the task to Leslie as an Owner from Inbound Communications and it will send the entire task to her board. The task will disappear from the Daily Operations Board. If the patient is either a new intake (hasn’t yet been referred to Leslie by a provider), or you are unsure if the patient is responding to Leslie vs. another staff member, keep it on the Daily Operations board. In that later situation, you can assign it to the staff member currently working with the patient (if on shift), or next MTM, if appropriate.
