Turns out, seniors spend almost THREE WEEKS a year outside of their home to get healthcare. Think about how burdensome that is for them?! Moreso, 11% of all seniors spend 50 days or more...crazy. When we think about aging in place, this is why care in the home is so critical...
Talked to a health insurance exec at a brunch this AM. Asked him for some off the record thoughts on working with startups and what he really thought of pilots. He said “It’s so cute that they think we’re serious. We just do them so our staff doesn’t get bored.”
We straight up need more home healthcare solutions. It can’t be just outdated mom and pops, PE-backed rollups, Optum, Papa, Dispatch, and Signify. We need smart, yet humble people to prepare for the tidal wave of demand.
What problems will you solve? Medicaid “drives 44% more expenditure than commercial.” How can you accelerate adoption of your innovation while improving care for a disadvantaged population? It’s time to read up on Medicaid related opportunities. @MadamMedicaid @AdimikaA

One of the best comments I heard today: we are in such a strange time in healthcare. We still send faxes but do surgeries using complete robotic functionality. It’s as if Fred Flintstone and George Jetson are trying to live together in the same house 🦖🤖
Get your vaccines. Minimize your risk of a hospital stay.
97% of the US Military (~1.3 million) was fully vaccinated by 2022. The hospitalization rate in 2021 was the 3rd lowest rate of the past decade. The hospitalization rate in 2022 was the lowest rate of the past decade. The majority of hospitalizations were related to mental…
One of the many reasons we need transformation of care delivery now: Pushing the old algorithm too far ends up with a crisis–we need to invest in process before we need it, not when the emergency strikes. seths.blog/2023/09/the-bi…
Flattery will get ChatGPT far, but the accuracy of the bio it wrote for me was lacking. #userbecareful
