Incentives drive behavior, and FFS still drives incentives for the vast majority of American healthcare. Read more about $HCA's incentive structure and KPIs and what they mean for healthcare innovation in our latest Deep Dive! @HealthcareDonut @HCBank6 thedonuthole.substack.com/p/deep-dive-5-…

The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) finds that Medicare spends 6% more for Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollees than it would spend if they were enrolled in traditional Medicare. That’s $27 billion more spending in 2023. 1/ medpac.gov/wp-content/upl…


I love how patronizing the reminder beep the microwave makes is when you don’t immediately remove your food.


Awesome session @rikrenard and @darshaksanghavi! Appreciate you all sharing all this care ops and pop health wisdom!

CareOps hosted @darshaksanghavi (CMO, @babylonhealth) to talk about ways to evolve from a 1:1 to a 1:many care model. This was my favorite conversation so far, here are the highlights 👇 How to engage 20k patients? Give them something they want rather than something you want.



Has anyone looked at the increased opex requirements for providers in VBC models vs. the shared savings they could capture?


What if pharma invented a drug that gets people to eat right, exercise, and quit smoking?


🌶️I think the utilization management incentive in VBC is just as troublesome as the overutilization incentive in FFS🌶️

I'd be fascinated to know how many in-home evaluations Signify performs are with patients who have Amazon Prime subscriptions. I suspect it's minimal. Don't really get $AMZN's interest in $SGFY outside of acquiring a clinical workforce


God our healthcare system is amazing, just received the copay bill for an office visit that occurred in July 2021


Thinking about the major healthcare wins in the Inflation Reduction Act. What if all the digital health VC dollars instead went to lobbying Congress for insulin price caps, transparent PBMs, and grocery store subsidies to address food deserts?


Why can't we just let MA plans access Medicare-negotiated pricing for dialysis? Better for patients and the taxpayer healthcaredive.com/news/health-af… via @healthcaredive

My hot take on the Amazon news today…there’s no big integrated genius strategy. They purchased ONEM and it’s going to continue operating as is, just like their Whole Foods purchase, but with essentially no marketing costs to drive new ONEM subscribers because of Prime.

Obviously our inflation levels are problematic, but doesn't a strong dollar and high inflation across developed economies indicate that domestic policy is not 100% responsible for our current situation?
