S1E50: Long-Term Outlook Necessary for Managed Care to Succeed with Ken Steele, Principal at ECG Managed Care and host Dr. Nick.

Dr. Nick and Ken discuss and explore a realistic and acceptable path to a managed health care. We have managed care today but the original intent has been a little lost in the implementation. HMOs have been formed to manage the population they serve but their uptake has been limited and met with a lot of resistance with the traditional fee-for-service model reigning as the dominant methodology under which healthcare is delivered today. Healthcare affects all of us and we all need to take responsibility to find solutions. The failure of the system affects each and every one of us. As you will hear Ken say, it starts with demanding better more economical access to quality healthcare. Understand the patient process and spend time understanding the individual experiences. Find the way forward to investing in the healthcare services seeking longer-term benefits that are good for everyone including the patient.

Your better pill to swallow is to build trust throughout your community of patients, doctors, clinicians, healthcare executives and payors, and insurers.
