Microdosing

There are so many healthcare organizations that say, "It's all about the patient." The reality it's not. And never has been. Yes, the core KPI is patient outcomes, but don't think for a second the patient is the customer. In a number of instances, they are, but in most instances they are not. And we'll explain more in this episode.

In this episode, we’ll talk about how US health insurance isn’t really insurance, and how the US healthcare system -which is largely private- is still heavily influenced by the government.  Begging the question: How private and capitalistic is our healthcare system, and are we really gaining anything compared to other government-run systems?

In this series, Microdosing goes Marco. We'll be talking about economic models, who actually pays for healthcare in the US, who's in control, and what it all means. We'll raise more questions than we'll answer, but understanding these macro forces are important in making successful tactical decisions.

Microdosing isn't a 52-week podcast. We take breaks. We're taking one now and will get back to you after the summer.

Stephanie Rock of Intus Care joins us in this episode, and talks about how value based care needs to be managed in its totality. It's not just plan design. It's not just a care delivery model. Everything needs to be factored into it, as all of it affects outcomes.
