Eric Bricker, MD on the Relentless Health Value Podcast Episode 472 says "So I sort of jokingly say if an employer doesn't steer their patients, doesn't steer their plan members, their plan members will be steered and they will be specifically steered by the strategies of the hospital system." Employers, this needs to change. There are so many ways to do this now, but it is IMPERATIVE that the contractual terms of those doing the steering are ethically aligned with both the employer and the member. "Shared savings" is the new parallel of "Discounts", there is no numerator, AND the perverse incentive is to steer to bottom barrel cost with no eye toward quality. All inclusive bundles with the bundle quality guaranteed aligns the incentives of all the stakeholders.

Traditional healthcare often tells young men: “You’re fine, don’t worry about it.” But as Sam Sulek points out in this clip, many guys who do want to take ownership of their health can’t even get a basic hormone panel without push back. That’s frustrating — and honestly, it’s a missed opportunity. At Victress Health and Wellness LLC, we take a different approach. A full panel of labs and preventive testing isn’t something you should have to fight for — it should be a common practice! Because whether you’re a 25-year-old athlete or a 45-year-old executive, you deserve clarity on what’s happening inside your body. Sam’s right: traditional healthcare is behind the curve. That’s why we’re building something better.

18 years ago, Woody Waters and Steve Kelly proved that healthcare could be done differently. They showed it could save millions, deliver a better experience, and build lasting trust.    It started with one employer facing a large, complex claim that could have derailed their health plan. Woody and Steve stepped in with a new approach. That employer is still with Imagine360 today.    Woody is a fantastic leader and a tireless advocate for making healthcare more affordable for American families. I’m lucky to work alongside him.    Thank you Ray Kober for sharing Woody’s story on the Broken Healthcare Podcast. It’s a powerful look at the origins of reference-based pricing and how it’s helping employers across the country provide more affordable, accessible care.  https://lnkd.in/eHiHf-q9 

Healthcare should never feel transactional. In a moment of reflection, I realized I was seeing my patient through a different lens. It was no longer about her well-being but about metrics and compensation—this is what moral injury looks like. Here are 3 things to consider about patient care: - The importance of respecting patients' autonomy and choices. - The impact of performance metrics on the doctor-patient relationship. - Strategies to prioritize patient needs over contractual obligations. Did you know that a significant number of healthcare professionals experience moral injury due to systemic pressures? How do you ensure that your work prioritizes genuine care over metrics? Family physician Jonathan Bushman discusses his article, "The hidden moral injury behind value-based health care."

On the Bright Spots in Healthcare Podcast with Eric Glazer, Ali Diab, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Collective Health, talked about why transparency is essential in healthcare — and how it’s currently missing. He explained that people often don’t know the cost of care until after it’s done, something unheard of in other industries. Even in complex fields like retail or construction, transparency is expected. But in healthcare, middlemen have created a “black box” that hides true costs and makes things harder for both patients and providers. Ali emphasized that it’s time for a full transparency overhaul to make healthcare clearer and fairer for everyone. #HealthcareTransparency #CostInHealthcare #IntermediariesInHealthcare
