Integration along the value chain: Redesigning care around the patient

Care delivery is often designed around how systems want to deal with patients and not always how a patient wants to deal with a system. For example Hospitals are far too often a default front door for patients who end up there because a lack of investment in community and primary care means they have nowhere else to turn. This is a lose-lose situation for both patients and for health systems with higher costs in an often inappropriate and inconvenient care setting. With fewer single-speciality roll-up opportunities a new diversified clustered model is emerging which could yield big strides in value creation for investors. This session different models of value chain integration and analyses the impact on the patient, on clinicians and on payors in terms of increasing outcomes and lowering costs.
