What Would It Take to Actually Fix Healthcare?

Most healthcare reform efforts focus on policy, funding or incremental efficiency gains ignoring structural change. This whitepaper takes a step back to examine a more fundamental issue: how the structure and ownership of care delivery influence outcomes, costs and long-term sustainability.

The health industry has labeled this Medicine 3.0. Through system-level analysis and practical scenarios, this paper explores how prevention, prediction, early intervention and patient navigation of episodic care along with a new operating model can work together to shift care upstream, reduce avoidable utilization and better align incentives across the healthcare ecosystem for a lower cost.

Inside the paper

• Structural drivers behind rising healthcare costs and uneven outcomes

• Why today’s episodic, reactive care model falls short

• How prevention and navigation can change utilization over time

• Design considerations for separating preventive health from episodic care

• Implications for employers, providers and organizations positioned to lead change
