Moving to Value Unscripted

Healthcare’s end users, better known as patients, rely on physicians to listen, care, and solve their healthcare problems. However, what might not be widely appreciated is the value physician leaders bring to large-scale successful strategies around care transformation and payment reform. In this episode from May 2023, Dr. Steve Shutzer talks to two physician leaders, one a primary care physician and the other an orthopedic specialist, with a track record of success in creating patient-centered sustainable healthcare value.

Designing a health plan to meet the explicit requirements of your diverse employee population is challenging and traditionally has yet to keep up with their changing needs.

In this episode, Part 3 of MTVA's Employer Series, "Taking Agency Over Your Health Plan," Jeff Hogan talks to Lisa Trumble, fellow MTVA Board Member, Senior healthcare executive, and strategic leader of transformational change and driving performance in value-based care, and Dr. Marla McLaughlin, Associate Chief Medical Officer of apree health, about designing/redesigning a plan to meet employee healthcare concerns, improving their satisfaction and retention.
