In the uncertainty of today’s healthcare industry, we must continue to persevere towards our true north.  The moral imperative to improve the quality of care for patients through better care coordination, including those are underserved, can only be achieved by the realities of the digital age. This transformation will require the medical profession to create a modernized Hippocratic Oath that extends to the broader health ecosystem. The proliferation of interoperable technology and digital health tools has the potential to catalyze value-based care delivery innovation and transparency. However, it must come along with an ethical commitment to guide data sharing, integration, and technical processes. True North will ultimately prevail in connecting value-based networks to those most in need; however, it will take continued progress in amplifying the demand signal for value-based care.
On the Race to Value this week, you will hear from one of the top healthcare revolutionaries in our country.  We are honored to bring you, the one and only,Aneesh Chopra - the first chief technology officer of the United States who was appointed by President Obama and the Co-Founder and President of CareJourney. In this episode, you will be party to a powerful conversation on the promise of the digital age in healthcare.  You will learn about how health policy and innovation is ushering in a new era of data flow and interoperability, consumer-driven innovation, price transparency, and clinically-relevant analytics for the future of value-based care delivery transformation. Aneesh Chopra also explains why he feels so strongly why ACO REACH will help us reach True North.
