What you’ll get out of this episode
Quick announcement: Carrie and Rebecca are both attending HLTH in Boston Oct 17-20. Will you be there? Connect via LinkedIn beforehand so you can say hi! Now on with the show…
These truths may be obvious to you as a healthcare innovator, but regulators, payors, and sometimes even consumers still lag behind for some very outdated and sometimes odd reasons.
After a few episodes of solo hosting, Carrie and Rebecca reconnect for another episode in this series on what seems really obvious but isn’t yet the norm.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- Why mental health is a vital aspect of maintaining overall health—and why the system is not set up to support that (right now)
- How providers, payors, and tech companies can align incentives to achieve better outcomes and lower health costs
- Why our system isn’t built for that kind of alignment yet—but it’s getting there
This lively conversation is one you won’t want to miss if you’re a healthcare provider, a mental health advocate, a policymaker, a digital health company, or a payor of health services.
