My summary slide contains my final thoughts as we move forward in the CKMH space.
I appreciate the complexity of implementing all the things we discussed at this amazing conference.
1) Pro-active care MUST be adopted to appropriately align incentives toward building delivery of care that targets health and prevention rather than “sick care”.
I like to use the poem, the fence, or the ambulance to illustrate. The fee for service is the ambulance. VBC, or proactive care, is the fence. https://lnkd.in/ghcrxrK5
2) Targeting disease primordially is key. However, we have not even optimized the guidelines that direct medical care to the late stages, e.g., sglt-inhibitors, arni, ns-MRA, GLP1ra, and statins. We need to do both, but the ROI is much higher at an earlier stage (see CKMH staging slide).
3) ALWAYS a patient MUST be at the center. We MUST do better at engaging and educating. We, as a healthcare community, have been given a unique trust, the care of human lives. We MUST not gatekeep information that will improve engagement.
4) Do we really need layers of contracting that bury cost transparency? PBMs, pharma, payors, device companies, supply chain… the patient is NOT the consumer under current US healthcare. We cannot collectively bargain, nor can we break into costs to make them competitive and affordable.
