Make Healthcare Easy on Me

You’ve heard it said, “Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” On average, patients spend 123 minutes getting medical care, and this time burden is 25-28% longer for racial/ethnic minorities and unemployed individuals. Navigating the complex healthcare system can be overwhelming especially when you or someone you love needs care. With consumers being most concerned with convenience, cost, and reputation, how is the industry responding? More and more, real-time resolution (RTR) technologies are becoming available for the patient journey. Virtual access. AI for personalization. Portals for real-time medical information. Mobile apps. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Will the future offer an aggregated point solution to the healthcare consumer - a Kayak of healthcare?

More and more, consumers are demanding digital health solutions and the well is primed. For example, 25% of Gen Z’ers are using food, water, fitness and sleep trackers; the FDA has communicated its regulatory “enablement” goal for development of low-risk, helpful technologies; and providers are enhancing patient experiences by adding common tech gear to their care delivery toolbox.

It’s About Damn Time for New Payment Models

In most industries, you get what you pay for. Consumers have full transparency into the cost of an item or service and the benefits they’ll reap from purchasing at the higher and lower end of the spectrum. Healthcare is different. High cost services often do not lead to high end outcomes, further health consumers have little purview into the true value of services rendered. The value-based care movement was born out of the realization that our standard transaction-based, fee-for-service payment model is outdated and unsuccessful, but sweeping adoption of an alternative model has not occurred. Join value-based care experts to review specific use cases where new models are showing real promise and their perspective on the rocky path ahead for industry-wide adoption.
