    Easing the Transition from Fee For Service to Value Based Health Care - A Conversation with Curation Health COO Tanjina Shapiro

    Easing the Transition from Fee For Service to Value Based Health Care - A Conversation with Curation Health COO Tanjina Shapiro

    For years we've heard about the benefits of moving away from Fee for Service care in the US to a world of Value Based Health Care - but that transition has been slower than anyone could have anticipated. Even though it's not always at the top of the news at this moment in history, it's encouraging to know that real, positive change is happening to enable that transition to be much easier for providers ... and reducing the doctor's documentation time by 10 minutes per patient in the process! Greg and Tanjina dive deep into what makes Value Based Health Care so hard - but mostly about how those obstacles can be conquered through strong technology and even better change management.

Always informative and entertaining

Thanks Greg

Great information ... even for patients!

Great podcast! It's kind of like "lifting the veil" on some very important health-related subjects. While I'm not a healthcare professional, I am a patient. Many of the podcasts help me understand healthcare trends and innovations that affect me and my family. And the moderator helps the guest communicate his/her subject matter in a way that even a general audience can understand, without losing those who live and work in this area. Give it a listen!
