Description
The way we pay for healthcare in the US has long been by fee-for-service: per doctor visit, per test, per surgery, per hospital stay. But that system has led to rapidly escalating volumes of services and cost to the system—without actually improving outcomes. What if we shifted everything towards paying for value—and outcomes—instead?
In this episode, Todd Park, co-founder and executive chairman of Devoted Health, and formerly Chief Technology Officer and technology advisor for President Barack Obama; a16z General Partner Vijay Pande; and Bio Eats World host Hanne Winarsky—talk all about the megatrend of value-based care, and how it is redefining healthcare itself. Why is now the moment for this massive shift? How do we implement it? What does it mean for doctors and patients, insurers and policymakers? What is tech’s role in making it possible, and what's the business model and incentive for creating value?

Journal Club: Modeling Mysterious Brain Structures: You've probably heard of the blood-brain barrier, but did you know there is a second barrier that protects that brain from the blood? It is formed by the choroid plexus, which produces the cerebral spinal fluid. This understudied but critical part of the brain is finally getting the attention it deserves due to a new "mini brain" model. We discuss this model and its many applications on this episode of Journal Club. by Raising Health
