Transcript

How important is it that organizations looking to implement value-based care and change how care is delivered create partnerships?

The big takeaway for me in this business implementing value-based care is that we are truly trying to disrupt a system that is making a lot of people very wealthy today, and the reality is none of us can disrupt such a broad and institutionalized healthcare system without partners that are willing to be leaders and be brave. There are times when the course of action you take out to implement a partnership or to implement something new and disruptive is perhaps the wrong course or perhaps needs to be augmented in some way, and so the sign of a successful partnership is truly reevaluating whether it is moving in the direction that you want it to go, regardless of how many times you have to recalibrate, because the reality is none of this is easy, and we’ve all set course on making change together.
