Monologue: Tripp Johnson on 21st Century Healthcare
In today's episode, Tripp illustrates the challenges we face as we disrupt and transform the current healthcare system. In the United States, between 1960 and 2019, our healthcare spend has gone from 5% of our GDP to 19% of our GDP. However, in the past few years, we've seen a decrease in lifespan, which is likely accompanied by a decrease in the overall health of many populations. Tripp attributes this problem to a stagnant model of healthcare that fragments patient access to services, ignores the social determinants of health, and relies on outdated systems of data collection and provider education.
Listen as Tripp proposes ways to reduce healthcare spending and promote human flourishing by integrating care, promoting value-based reimbursement, standardizing interoperable data, and ensuring that members of the healthcare field becoming flexible thinkers with an interdisciplinary set of skills.
