🌟 New Blog—Insights from AHIP 2024: Transforming Healthcare Together Enjoyed my first AHIP, here at home in Las Vegas, where industry leaders and innovators gathered to shape the future of healthcare! 🤝✨ From enlightening panels to engaging discussions, the event was a powerhouse of knowledge and inspiration. I had the pleasure of learning from and conversing with some of the brightest minds in the industry, including Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA David Rhew, M.D., "trend weaver" Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, Neil Gomes, Don Antonucci, and many more. Here are a few tantalizing snippets—the rest is in the blog: 1️⃣ Radical Candor on Systemic Transformation: Panelists didn't hold back, diving deep into the real challenges we face—rising care costs, payer-provider friction, and the need for systemic change. Dr. Sachin Jain's call to "quit normalizing the abnormal" still resonates. 2️⃣ Accelerating Value-Based Care: Strategies to enhance quality measurement and member satisfaction were hot topics. Collaboration, innovation, and health equity were highlighted as key drivers for success. 3️⃣ AI in Healthcare: The power of AI to revolutionize personalization, improve care access, and reduce friction was a major focus. Dr. Charles DeShazer of Cigna Healthcare and others shared their visions for a future where AI transforms every aspect of healthcare. 👉 Read the full blog here and let's continue the conversation on how we can drive meaningful change in healthcare together! https://lnkd.in/g9sfYSb3 #HealthcareInnovation #AI #ValueBasedCare #HealthEquity #DigitalHealth #ThoughtLeadership 💬 And if you attended AHIP, what insights or innovations caught your attention?

An exceptional member experience has been a key priority for a majority of health plans. Despite significant investments, health plans face challenges such as staffing shortages, legacy systems, and issues with data management and integration, hindering their ability to improve customer experience. Emerging technologies such as generative AI, advanced analytics, and Contact Center-as-a-service (CCaaS) present an exciting opportunity for payers to revolutionize member interactions, make informed decisions, and provide personalized healthcare solutions. In this viewpoint, we examine the foundational challenges impacting member experience in health plans, emphasizing the need for transformative strategies. The report explores essential capabilities for next-generation member engagement, highlighting technology’s role and the potential of third-party providers in shaping a connected, customized, and continuous member experience.

Thank you, Ran Balicer, Chief Innovation Officer & Deputy DG at Clalit Health Services, for this interview 👏 The insights are like a booster for those trying to accelerate digital transformation in healthcare. Takeaways: ☄ We intuitively perceive the risks associated with innovative approaches but tend to discount the enormous risks of the status quo. ⚡ If health systems don't transform, they will implode since they are in a dangerous vicious circle. 🚨 The key to innovation is creative dissatisfaction. 🕯 We must dispel some old notions that have become truisms but may no longer be valid. 🙄 No one knows how many errors are performed daily in a healthcare system, how many missed opportunities for better lines of treatment exist but are ignored 🚀 We see too many pilots and too few follow-up efforts at systematic implementation at scale. 🤖 I am more worried about the impact of AI on fake news and trust in democratic societies, for instance, than of future AGI (artificial general intelligence) taking over the world.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐯𝟏.𝟎 𝐨𝐟 “𝐀 𝟑𝟎-𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞”. It's rough...gotta start somewhere 😐. 𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Ruta Gabalina and Aiym Sarmanova of PPMI, a leading European research and policy analysis center. They are working on a study exploring the evolution of platforms in healthcare. I shared my framework with them verbally, and now I say “thanks” for their creating a v1.0 graphic. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞 – think of them as overlapping: * 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟖 – 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 * 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟖 – 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟓 – 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭-𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. This era isn’t over, but healthcare stakeholders (patients, health systems, employers, health plans, IT departments) are experiencing point solution fatigue. * 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟓 – 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 – 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 (𝐃𝐇𝐏𝐬). We’re seeing an explosion of early DHPs. They focus on uniting various disparate aspects of healthcare, e.g., workflow within organizations, patient experience, care coordination, and many, many others. * 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐-𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟎 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬. Gartner wrote about this new category in a December 2022 report. “The DHP shift will emerge as the most cost-effective and technically efficient way to scale new digital capabilities within and across health ecosystems and will, over time, replace the dominant era of the monolithic electronic health record (EHR).” * 𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟎… -- 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐚-𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫-𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐬. The best early example of this today is PingAn Healthcare in China. In the U.S., UnitedHealthGroup has described their two businesses -- United Healthcare and Optum -- as platforms. For long-run examples, recall a recent article written by a16z Bio + Health VCs Daisy Wolf and Vijay Pande, PhD – “The Biggest Company in the World”. They make the argument that “the biggest company in the world will be a consumer health tech company.” They share 3 possible scenarios, all of which fit the label of “mega-platforms”.

I really enjoyed attending the Digital Health New York (DHNY) 2024 Summit this week. I am grateful for the invitation to join such an incredible group of healthcare providers, systems, innovators, and investors representing the ecosystem who discussed the evolution of healthcare through technology. A major theme throughout the event was the extraordinary potential of technology - especially AI - to improve patient outcomes. If we optimize its use, AI can drive operational efficiencies, enhance disease prediction, augment diagnostics, and even support mental health. However, a critical reminder that resonated with me was: "Progress moves at the speed of trust." As we continue to leverage AI, we must ensure that we improve future outcomes without perpetuating bias or inequities. There were a host of incredible speakers throughout this summit. I particularly enjoyed the Value-Based Specialty Care panel with Vivek Garg, MD, MBA, Ali Khan, MD, MPP, Evelyn Goodfriend, and Robin Shah, which explored the true meaning of "value" in healthcare. Key takeaways included: - Tangible improvements in health outcomes were seen by keeping care centered around the patient. - Better clinical decision-making comes through end-to-end connected care and operational efficiencies. - Ali Khan's poignant question: "How do we ensure everyone receives the care they deserve?" He emphasized that everyone should have an "easy button" to accessing care. Overall, the day reinforced a central theme that aligns with our mission at identifeye HEALTH: We are all here to help patients. By focusing on patient-centered care and leveraging technology to develop tools that make clinicians' work easier and more efficient, we enable them to spend more time with patients. Our goal is to remove barriers and contribute to making care more accessible and scalable. #DHNY24  #HealthcareInnovation #AIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth #ValueBasedCare
