HOW TO BRING HEALTHCARE TO THE CONSUMER
The Premier Healthcare Group in the Midwest. Relevant Health Roundtable
N ew innovations are bringing healthcare directly to the consumer during the pandemic. While the pandemic is exaggerating issues of disaggregation and lack of coordination in healthcare, it’s simultaneously accelerating new ways of bringing healthcare directly to the consumers. Finding the right ways to bring care to the patient, rather than the patient to the care, will continue to trend as we seek to create interconnectivity within healthcare. In our last panel, Anna Youngerman (Chief Value Officer at Children’s Minnesota), Mike Cantor (MD, JD at Bright Health), and Aliza Bach (VP of Strategy at Prospero Health) shared how to overcome new barriers in care and the immediate and long-term implications COVID will have on our healthcare system.
COVID’S IMPACT It’s impossible to discuss any topic in healthcare today without addressing the impact of COVID. Everything is impacted by COVID – people, culture, service delivery, and more. Beyond the business, it’s a time of significant impact to humanity, which is imperative for everyone in the industry to keep in mind. Providers experienced an increased need in palliative services and clinical coordination, particularly for elderly and at-risk individuals. Both groups face issues associated with isolation, which demanded a rapid response to meet their needs and bring care directly to their homes. COVID uncovered more issues than it caused, but the system will emerge stronger and better due to working on those issues. We will continue to advance positive changes, like bringing care to the patient, and eliminate barriers to necessary care.
