Future Programs
The long game is bringing Healthcare as a Team Sport to everyone through Primary Care. Our next step is expanding Healthcare as a Team Sport to programs for chronic diseases (ex. hypertension) and post-interventions (ex. post cancer treatment).
The cornerstone of all programs is empowering education by a team of healthcare professionals working in partnership with the patient to achieve their goals and optimize health. One key addition to the healthcare team is the Proactive Health Liaison, who maintains close communication with the patient and all members of the team.
Combining these programs under one umbrella in the Primary Care office will bring Healthcare as a Team Sport to everyone. This also presents the opportunity to move Primary Care to a value-based reimbursement model. Healthcare as a Team Sport for everyone through Primary Care will optimize health + save lives.
Why we need Change:
- The health of the US population ranks lowest among wealthy nations.
- Life expectancy in the US is decreasing.
- US Healthcare System is the most expensive among OECD nations spending $3.9T or 16.8% of GDP on healthcare in 2019.
- Patients with an identified primary care physician are decreasing.
- Healthcare professionals are leaving practice.
Our WHY:
To build trusting relationships and improve health while putting the joy back in the partnership for healthcare.
