And even as we were kind of speaking with some of our employers as we're kind of working, you know, in this collaborative effort to improve care, they were saying that up to 40% of their employees did not even have a primary care physician. And and part of the problem there too is, again, it's tough to get anybody to go into primary care. It's, you know, high burnout, It's the lowest paying. You know, you come out of school, Med school with big debt, you know, you're going to choose one of the specialties of the assistant and paying that off. And like, if you look at, you know, population from say 1980 to. 2020 you know, our country grew about 41% population wise. We went from, you know, maybe 241,221 thousand to 311,000 or so. In the next 20 years, from 2020 to 2060, you might grow about 10%. But the problem is with that growth, you can't get folks to do primary care. So if you crunch the numbers and you look there, you know, or maybe about 270,000 primary care deliverers on the physician side in the country. About the same number of nurse practitioners, maybe about a 10th of that, and physician assistants. But if you look by the year of 2036 with that growth process and these are going to be folks who are coming in into the employment age, we're going to be 70,000 providers short on the primary care side by the year of 2036. So now those deliverables where we're talking about you can't get in, you can't get access, now it's going to become even worse. And the problem there again is how do we put satisfaction and that process back into the primary care network? Where we can get those providers? To be satisfied and employed in that manner otherwise. It's a disaster now. It's it's only gonna get worse. I mean, you can look at health outcomes and look at the top 38, you know, industrialized countries in the, in the globe, we're 31. And if you look at maternal care and fetal care, we're worse. It's, it's an absolute disaster and. And, and, and the current rate, it's, you know, the cost is not tolerable and the care is not tolerable. And, you know, we just, we deserve better and we, we need to have a model where it's more effective. You can put a primary care doc in any community. The longevity of that community will improve twice as effective as any other specialist in that community. And the cost effective manner from the screening or the detection mitigation strategies, chronic care, I'm all goes in unison with that. And we just don't have the bodies. And the way the system is designed, it's awfully tough to continue to put them in there.

Achieving alignment between physicians and health plans through value-based care methodologies can offer massive improvements in healthcare efficiency and patient outcomes. As VBC evolves and these collaborations strengthen, equitable access will likely become a reality for diverse patient populations who currently lack the ability to receive quality care. #VBC #Healthcare #ValueBasedCare https://lnkd.in/eCu6MPqR

Politico just published an article highlighting how hospitals are recognizing the clinical and financial benefits of providing care at home. It also highlights how hospitals are urging lawmakers to extend policies that support remote care. Those policies, supported with funding, would be great news for helping improve patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. #healthcare #remotecare #patientoutcomes #costsavings #careathome #hospitalathome https://lnkd.in/ewUuk--g
