The Big Question: Who Will Fix Healthcare?

It’s no secret that something needs to change in our western healthcare system. Rising costs, decreased accessed, increasing clinician burnout, and financial challenges all plague healthcare systems across the world. Depending on who you speak to (policy-makers, providers, payers, or patients), the cause of these problems varies. Some stakeholders, like providers, blame payers and insurance companies. Some stakeholders, like patients, blame corporate greed and profit incentives for healthcare’s woes. Regardless of who you speak with, they all seem to have the same question: Who Will Fix Healthcare? I actually had an interesting conversation with a founder in the healthcare space about this topic and he said something that I thought was worth doing a whole episode on. He said, essentially, that the solution to healthcare’s challenges will likely come from outside the industry.

So, this week, I sit down with Mohamed Elwazer from LinedanceAI to discuss the question “Who will fix healthcare?”. We dive into topics around innovation, common challenges faced by healthcare providers, and the importance on focusing on the key element of healthcare exchanges: the relationship between providers and patients.

What we cover in this Episode:

• 
  
• Understanding the challenge of clinician burnout in healthcare
  
• The cost of hiring & recruiting clinicians
  
• Problems caused by fee for service reimbursement schemes
  
• The importance of crafting a positioning strategy when employing an innovative healthcare solution
  
• Common challenges with innovating within the healthcare space
  
• Why the people closest to the problem often have difficulty taking a step back to view it objectively
  
• Achieving Better Outcomes by leveraging technology to streamline processes, reduce costs, and increase human connection in healthcare
  

We post videos of certain podcast episodes, including this episode, which can find on the YouTube Channel.
