Over $1 trillion is wasted every year on healthcare inefficiencies. Politicians love to point fingers at drug prices, but that's less than 10% of the problem. Imagine using AI to build a health system from scratch in a city like Dallas—integrating primary care, urgent care, specialty care, and ICUs into one cohesive network. Our guest, an anonymous healthcare CEO, in conversation with Sam Toole, pointed out how generative AI can tackle inefficiencies throughout the system—from back-office operations to patient care—ultimately molding how healthcare is delivered.
Direct care doesnt have these problems, this is not a tech problem but a organizational one. Tech would not make the insurance complex act more morally or PE hospital owners treat their medical specialist with respect. What does tho is direct independently medical expert owned practices/groups. The missing piece that is holding the direct movement back and in your example. Is a catastrophic coverage product. the ICUs?, ERs, Oncology, specialty drugs ect may be too much of a variable to commodities it. Which is why this actually is good use case for a insurance based product. the Key is offering a catastrophic product (for all) which would be at 70% less than current premiums needing not to cover the 1st part what is even more wild through DPC, In house dispensing, and other direct offerings (Today) the 1st parts is already 40-60% less than what insurance companies will quote.
Sam Toole , It's exciting to think about how AI can really change the way healthcare works! Integrating all those different types of care could make such a difference for patients. I'm curious, what do you think is the biggest challenge in making this a reality? ???? #HealthTech #AIinHealthcare
Creating objective measures for ADHD and brain health
6 天前I think the US health system has many efficiencies that do not require AI. One example is connecting the patient's data between different facilities. Patient data should be accessible to all providers through a centralized, secure database. This type of solution is available in other countries. A bigger, harder-to-solve issue is the lack of incentives for long-term savings. Preventative health is the best saving we can have but it is lacking.
