Tembo Health’s Post

so very true. meanwhile the number of available PCP providers are shrinking at an alarming rate.

Exciting news today from our portfolio company, Centivo. The combination with Eden Health will offer employees new ways to access primary care – when they need it and how they want to access it.   Eden Health offers services that augment Centivo's current virtual primary care strategy, such as virtual engagement with clinicians, behavioral health services and analytics – all of which can be tailored to the unique needs of an employer’s population. Better and more accessible primary care is a major theme for us at Morgan Health, and Centivo has several great offerings based on patient engagement with a primary care provider. A strengthened focus on virtual primary care is a logical next step – particularly because guiding patients to a network of high-quality providers at an affordable cost requires a trusted relationship. I look forward to joining Ashok Subramanian and Matt McCambridge this Thursday at 2:00 pm ET for a discussion about what this acquisition means for the industry and employers (as they seek to cultivate healthier and more supported workforces). Join the discussion by following Centivo. https://lnkd.in/eydxcsCP

Had a great time last night learning about Health systems and their pain points. 3 takeaways: 1) Keep data in their network, they don't want it leaving. 2) Just make it easy for your customer and have everything prepared 3) Phlebotomist availability is a huge bottleneck for hospitals. Thanks Mat Kaliski and FirstGen for setting this up.

In a rapidly evolving health era it can be hard to stay up to date with changes to health policy and payments. Adapting business strategies is essential to improve the quality of care for patients. Change is inevitable, growth is optional. Personally, I look forward to seeing more healthcare systems switch to VBC, partner with better med tech companies, and deliver superior patient outcomes.

Another great post by Halle Tecco, MPH, MBA. Clearly breaks down the various players and basics behind VBC. While I agree completely that value over volume has improved patient experience, it seems the outcomes are still very mixed and it’s hard to prove this over time and actual cost containment and quality improvement are highly dependent on the company, the population, and the macro environment (ie Covid and funding ecosystem). I always remember this NEJM article by Brad Smith while he was at CMMI: https://lnkd.in/dWhcaKYm Basically, net savings are rarely seen at scale… One of the major reasons, IMO, is the short measurement timeframes. Real change across populations takes time, maybe a decade or more. I’m cautiously optimistic about new models like Primary Care First which kicks off this summer and has a 10.5 year runtime. Hope to see more positive data that VBC actually works and is not just moving around dollars in a balance sheet…
