2dReading your article reminds me of the early successes of Kaiser Permanente, as pioneers of the managed care model, which stemmed from their systematic follow-up processes with discharged patients, ensuring compliance with treatment plans, medication adherence, and recovery progress. This proactive approach minimized unnecessary readmissions and fostered better outcomes. Similarly, their use of nurse-led triage and accessible medical clinics reduced reliance on fragmented systems involving referrals and scripts, which often suffer from weak follow-through. The concept of providing an "envelope of care" resonates strongly in today's shift toward value-based and digitally enabled healthcare. Your insight on a digital transformation builds on these principles by using tools like remote monitoring, predictive analytics, and virtual consultations to create a continuous and connected care experience. Getting payers to continue to support these initiatives, realizing they will benefit from reduced costs and acuity, will be the key. Do we begin to shift from Fee-for-service to a capitated model of health as an indication of success?
