The Handoff: Judy Kunisch - What nurse leaders need to know about payers

Published: Dec. 5, 2022, midnight

b'This episode focuses on a subject that wasn\'t in the previous five seasons of the show: the payer side of healthcare and its impact on nurses. Guest Judy Kunisch has a lot of experience \\u2013 and a lot of opinions on this topic \\u2013 and even Dan learned quite a bit during their discussion.

Judy is a former bedside nurse turned vice president for a Fortune 100 insurance company turned consultant who primarily works with payers and is passionate about serving as a bridge between those two worlds. She believes that nurses don\\u2019t have enough exposure to this side of the business and she wants to change that. Today she gives us a deep dive on the evolution of value-based payments and how they intersect with nursing, as well as how nurse leaders can use this information to make the case for more resources within their organization.
