Some of us are slow learners. I should have known this in medical school and planned accordingly. Thank you for the education on the incentives and realities of the hospital. Please make a video on the implementation of hospital price transparency and how consumers can navigate this to make better decisions. If you somehow got 500K views for your videos, our healthcare cost crisis would be over.
This is such an awesome video. This video reminded me of a convo I had w the Chief Strategy Officer at our hospital re: VBC - they said, 'if the "total cost of care" is going down, then somebody is going to make less money. Who is going to be willing to make less money??', which ties in perfectly here. Thank you for helping me connect the dots. A question is, how does Iora Health (now One Medical) or Oak Street, folks who are in VBC, fit into this narrative? Is it b/c they are focused just on Primary Care?
Where do pathologists lie on this hierarchy? When I worked in cytogenetics we had ONE MONTH that had slightly less samples than the previous year.. I had 6 MBAs all up my ass trying to make us "more productive" (as if we had ANY control over the amount of samples coming in our lab)... needless to say this video explains that.. thank you Eric!
you are so animated 😂🎉. I'm trying to learn how u.s.a health care runs for my master's program and I'm learning but I'm laughing more with your facial expression and choice of words ❤😂😅. ok I'm watching the video again 🎉!!!
A perfect reality check as to why value based care gets nodding heads and no action inside hospital systems that are fee for service. Misaligned incentives!
I mean regarless as more PCPs turn towards becoming Independent Physicians Associations, they are going to have to address it (since PCPs decide who get referred to what). Hospitals risk loosing out on a lot of money. Health systems and insurance companies know we are moving towards VBC and have begun buying large PCP groups. It's just a matter of time!
@@marcbolan1818 an IPA is not an independent doctor it’s a collective group of pcp doctors primarily used to contain costs from hospitalizations. VBC is at tempting to use this group to reduce the heavy costs incurred by specialty/hospital care! It’s actually heavily expanding atm. But the reality is specialists lose (not a substantial amount imo) in this model but pcp/patients benefit more!
Here's hoping VBC becomes the dominant paradigm for our health care system! Primarily because VBC seems better for patients in general and we all went into medicine with the priority of helping patients first and foremost. But sadly, given how our health care system is organized around hospitals and the power players noted in your video, "caring for patients" often seems like the last thing we care about. Do you have any prognosis for the future turning into one of VBC? Is it as bleak as I fear or is there genuine hope (e.g. ChenMed)?
My understanding with a lot of the cancer screening was that it was actually ineffective. We’ve been doing a lot of screenings but all that has done is increase the amount of treatment, with no, or only a small, decrease in mortality.
Genomic screening pushed down at the PCP level can allow the PCP and the patient to have very early knowledge and management of the disease before it is identified down stream where it is more costly and there may be less time for proactive therapeutics.
