141: Is Big Healthcare a Problem?

  • Summary

  • Is Big Healthcare a Net Positive or Net Negative for Society?

    We hear this all the time: in the news, online, and during interviews with healthcare professionals. We hear that "Big Healthcare" is causing extreme damage to society. People cite things like: delayed authorizations, denied care, reducing provider reimbursement or payment, etc. Books have been written about how Big Healthcare Became Big Business. It seems large healthcare conglomerates garner most, if not all, of the criticism for problems within the healthcare system. But one must ask the question: are large healthcare companies inherently a negative thing within the industry? Do they play a role in cost reduction and access to needed healthcare services?

    This week, I talk a little bit about this idea of "Big Healthcare" and whether it's a net negative or a net positive for society as a whole. I also discuss what small healthcare business owners should think about when it comes to running their businesses planning for the future.

    What we cover in this Episode:

    -Value-Drivers in a healthcare business
    -Understanding the role that large healthcare companies play in the industry
    -The problems with a Fee For Service system in healthcare
    -Maintaining Human Connection within the big healthcare space
    -How the incentives in today's healthcare environment lead to clinician burnout and wasted time
    -Understanding the savings flow in industries like healthcare
    -Achieving Better Outcomes by creating a valuable healthcare business
