“I see health systems being systematically disintermediated by certain payers and some tech companies who are eager to take the easy stuff and leave health systems with really complex, sick and often very poor patients,” says veteran healthcare executive Dr. Marc Harrison. “I need a speedboat to change that.” He’s building that speedboat in partnership with venture capital firm General Catalyst, and will leverage his deep experience -- most recently as CEO of Intermountain Healthcare -- to set a new course for healthcare in the US. “Healthcare should be accessible, affordable, of high quality, consumer-centric and a combination of the digital and legacy world,” he tells host Shiv Gaglani.  “A ‘clicks & mortar’ future, as we like to say.” In this thoughtful episode of Raise the Line, Harrison also touches on his own health struggles and discusses his book Possibility Unleashed which examines how to create environments where people get to do their very best work. “How do they get to run hard, run fast, be collaborative and do more in that context than they could ever do on their own?” Don’t miss this wisdom drop from one of the country’s leading figures in healthcare reform.

Mentioned in this episode: Dr. Marc Harrison’s book, Possibility Unleashed.
