Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy Listening now from Arkansas....I appreciate all the comments here. My background is in Public Health, but now I'm on the frontlines of primary healthcare. We've built an infrastructure for value-based care, and we do it very well across commercial and public payers. It is frustrating to see fee-for-service continue to create barriers for us and our patients in these VBC models. A successful team-based care model is necessary to be successful in VBC, but it is incredibly costly to sustain. We need to see more revenue and less red tape from the FFS side and/or more revenue from the VBC side to continue to sustain our team-based model and success in VBC programs. #DukeMargolisPolicyConf

With the advancement of remote, virtual and AI technology, access to certain care becomes increasingly important for many patients who live in rural areas. It also helps to bridge the gaps of lowering operating cost, staff shortages, and providing timely quality care. But the existing model and care delivery ecosystem for rural areas are still challenged, especially if operating in a lower patient volume area. What can we learn from those systems and adjust to a better model? #accesstocare #telemedicine #newbusinessmodel

Data tip: When computing primary care spending as % of total health care spending, it’s important to stratify by patient age. The younger the patient, the higher the % spending on primary care. So nobody should be surprised, for example, that % primary care spending is highest in Medicaid and lowest in Medicare—it’s all driven by patient age! Ditto comparisons between health systems and health plans. Uninterpretable without stratifying by patient age. Refs: https://lnkd.in/eCYVikRb And https://lnkd.in/eMTy8H55

Despite having the most expensive healthcare system in the world, why is the U.S. still falling short in health outcomes? As someone who has navigated the healthcare system personally and professionally, I’ve witnessed firsthand the frustration of patients trying to access quality care. It’s alarming that while we spend more, we often get less—leading to broken trust, delayed treatment, and rising healthcare costs. Are you among the 70% of Americans feeling let down by our healthcare system? The good news is that you don’t have to face the “System” alone. At Patient Advocates of Southwest FL, LLC (PAoSWFL), I’m committed to transforming healthcare journeys by empowering patients and their care partners with the knowledge, tools, and expert advocacy they need to confidently navigate challenging healthcare situations that do not meet expectations. My mission is to provide solutions that turn confusion into clarity and fear into empowerment. Let’s work together to demand better care and reclaim control over our health.
