If we are to have longer, healthier lives at lower cost, that innovation will come from outpatient primary care. Payers, large medical systems, and primary care are not aligned in this objective. Payers and large medical systems may be barriers to the changes that are needed. Chronic disease management in the outpatient primary care setting is the low-hanging fruit.
This is a great article on the topic. “If incumbents are willing to evolve and change and integrate technology and build new models, they could be successful,” Thomas said. “But that will depend on whether they really embrace that change because low-acuity primary care is not a great experience generally and there are going to be better ways it can be done. We all have to embrace that. And if you’re not, you probably will lose because primary care is going to be done very differently.”
That single paragraph sums it up. Primary care is going to be done very differently. Are you ready? What do you think?
We are definitely disrupting the legacy system: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/joseph-thomas-shen-md-b01760106_ebbh-activity-6931357243682533376-eUcY?utm_source=linkedin_share&utm_medium=ios_app
