Health Wildcatters’ Post

Enough already - FIX IT! Address the root causes. No more blame. We really can do this. The only way out of this mess is to create a path to health for each and every person. Do you know how to get healthy and stay healthy? Are you committed to it? It’s not easy. At least most of us reading this can afford to and find the resources to make it happen for ourselves. It’s our choice. Address the food. Address the economic alignment. Address access to information. Address behavior change. Address social media messaging. Address choice. Yeah it’s a lot to address but there are alot of us here. I’m only one person, but I’m not stopping. I went to DC and will go again. I wear my unicorn shoes. I’ve taken a big hit to revenue to work with companies relying on grants to create new models of care, address the root cause and listen/learn/think differently. There is a growing posse of us that are rolling up our sleeves collectively to address the big picture. I’m only tagging a few.. Erin W.

Healthcare isn't a mere marketplace, it's a lifeline for real people. Every service and product we offer can touch a life and shape a future. In this digital age, healthcare professionals must be seen. Not for applause, but for alliance— For forging partnerships that value life above all. That's why "𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯" isn't just a tagline for me. It's a truth that echoes through our industry. And the best way to bridge the gap between healthcare professionals and patients? By building trust through, clarity, simplicity, and openness. We need to foster bonds beyond the business and connect with those fighting alongside us. I see a future where healthcare is compassionate and universal. But change will only come from collective action. Your voice is crucial in this journey. So here's to making progress in our pursuit for human-centered healthcare.

Our healthcare system is number 1 In a category no one wants to be in Here's how we stack up against among the 10 OECD peer countries: Equity - 9th Care process - 2nd Access to care - 10th Health outcomes - 10th Administrative efficiency - 9th Within our healthcare system, there is amazing care, wonderful people, the best technology, incredible clinicians But unfortunately, those things are only available sometimes, some places, and to some people As a whole, we rank dead last How is it we spend so much and get so little?

The metric our healthcare system needs to use is how we take care of vulnerable women, children, and those with mental health concerns. Using that metric alone the US healthcare system is an abject failure beyond the pale. The writing is clear as a sharpie pen on butcher paper. There is precious little money to be made through providing basic care. And this include primary care. Most of the other OECD nations are doing a better job because these nations don't see care as a profit center. And PE is not a player in those systems either. Among the 55 World Bank-identified high-income countries for which the World Health Organization (WHO) also provides maternal mortality estimates, the WHO reported a median maternal mortality rate of 7 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2019. Some countries, such as Poland, Norway, and Israel, report figures at or below 3 deaths per 100,000. Within those rankings, the WHO put the United States 45th, at almost 20 maternal deaths per 100,000 births. That’s a dismal showing for so wealthy a country—and one that’s produced an enormous amount of commentary blaming the high rate on everything from cesarean sections to aging mothers to racism. However, these figures are completely wrong, and they have been known to be wrong for many years now. The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, the branch of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) charged with collating health and vital statistics, has published three separate reports elaborating in excruciating detail on one crucial fact about U.S. maternal mortality: It is measured in a vastly more expansive way than anywhere else in the world. As a result, U.S. maternal mortality is overestimated by two to three times. Properly measured, the real U.S. maternal mortality rate in 2019 was 9.9 maternal deaths per 100,000 births, which would put it at 36th place—still not impressive by comparison, but somewhat better than Canada and a bit worse than Finland or the United Kingdom. And as we’ll see, even that rate may have more to do with U.S. mortality as a whole than with specific pregnancy-related issues. #womenshealth #maternalhealth #obstetrics #mentalhealth.

"I think the collaboration is the essence of what makes value-based healthcare work." Just back from the Middle East after two weeks of speaking at a number of health conferences on value-based healthcare, Robert McGough chats to Gemma Badger about the approach. Focused on delivering high value, high quality care at affordable cost, Rob and Gemma chart the development of the concept, consider examples of its application both in the UK and worldwide, and discuss the practical steps required to make it work.
