1017 - Getting More Health Out of Health Care—By Paying for It

About this episode:

Private insurers and the government typically reimburse providers based on metrics of appointments and procedures. An innovative approach to health care finance asks doctors and clinicians to measure success differently: by tangible health outcomes. In this episode: Dr. Darshak Sanghavi details the early promise of this approach and how it's empowering communities to focus on better health.

Guests:

Dr. Darshak Sanghavi is Chief Medical Officer at Machinify and a former program manager at the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).

Host:

Dr. Josh Sharfstein is distinguished professor of the practice in Health Policy and Management, a pediatrician, and former secretary of Maryland's Health Department.
