Blockchain is the tech behind bitcoin. It’s sometimes called a distributed ledger, which is a way of saying that everybody in the blockchain network has a ledger on their computer, and when a transaction occurs, every copy gets updated.  If everyone can see the transaction, then effectively we have interoperability without having interoperability. If I have to interoperate with someone, I have to trust them with a hole through my firewall. With blockchain, all I need to trust is the blockchain.

EP161: Cutting Through the Blockchain Hype, with Erik Pupo from Accenture

Welcome to Relentless Health Value, the podcast for those working in the belly of the beast to fix our fundamentally broken healthcare system. If you are a self-insured employer, plan sponsor, benefits consultant, clinician, a C-suite executive or anyone in the business of healthcare tired of the "transformational theater" and marketing fluff, you have found your tribe. 

The U.S. healthcare system isn't a rational market; it's a game of Pachinko where perverse incentives reign, and as we always say, where there's mystery, there's margin.

Hosted by Stacey Richter, we relentlessly hunt down the administrative "inches" of waste and expose the hidden fees draining the $5.6 trillion healthcare sector. We transform wonky healthcare theory into ruthlessly practical, actionable insights. 

Whether it's demanding radical transparency, navigating complex PBM contracts, or buying actual healthcare instead of illusory discounts, our mandate is simple: If it results in a net positive for patients, we do it. Join the Relentless Health Value Tribe to equip yourself with the fiduciary armor needed to outwit the status quo, demand accountability, and drive real change.
