Innovative Pediatric Practice: A Pathway to Value-Based Care

In this podcast episode, Dr. Sian Jones, a dedicated pediatrician from Nebraska, shares insights into her integrated, value-based pediatric practice. The discussion covers various aspects of pediatric care, including value-based care, chronic disease management, integration of mental health, and the challenges modern pediatricians face. Dr. Jones emphasizes the importance of physician-led healthcare focused on building positive relationships with families and the healthcare team. The conversation explores efficient scheduling, chronic disease clinics, the role of AI in medical practice, and the future of pediatrics, highlighting Dr. Jones' well-run practice as a potential model for the future. The episode aims to shed light on the value of investing in pediatric care and the transformation needed in the healthcare system. We hope to have Dr. Jones back to expand on shared savings, a single payment for good care and preventive care, and a direct primary care model paid by either parents or employers.
