Healthcare Upside/Down: Cracking the Case of Pediatric Care with Alan Lassiter, MD Principal ECG.
S2E34: Cracking the Case of Pediatric Care with Alan Lassiter, MD Principal ECG and host Dr. Nick. Cystic Fibrosis was a terminal illness and survival rates were poor and did not extend much past late teens at best. Things have changed dramatically thanks to some amazing work and advances by a number of groups, but above all, not just the advances but the mutual teamwork, learning, and cooperation have changed the trajectory of this disease. In fact, there were some centers of excellence that demonstrated in their data a significantly better survival rate than other institutions even though the basic approach and medical treatments were similar. In the true spirit of medicine and patient focus these teams shared and worked together raising the outcomes for everyone. It is this spirit of cooperation that we explore with Dr. Lassiter. Shared data, shared information, shared knowledge and collaborative teamwork all make the difference in delivering pediatric care to everyone, breaking the economic and cost barriers and opening the door to more cost-effective solutions more widely accessible, especially to the underserved. Your better pill to swallow is to break down the barriers of dogma and the competition in healthcare and start sharing data, insights, and experience to build a truly inclusive healthcare service that meets the needs of the underserved and moves everyone one step closer to personalized and economically viable care.
