Imagine the New Reality
IMAGINE THE NEW REALITY
The American healthcare system is broken. The system itself is ancient. Incentives are misaligned. Costs continue to soar. Members are confused. Employers are frustrated. Solutions are lacking.
Until now. We are here to disrupt the healthcare system as you know it.
Healthcare is a deeply personal part of all of our lives. It touches each and every one of us profoundly, through our parents, our children, our friends and family, and our personal well-being. Whether we are investing in our long-term health or battling the most serious chronic disease, we want to know that we are trusting providers that have demonstrated clinical excellence, delivered the most successful outcomes, and ensured our friends and family are cared for in the most evidence-based manner. By achieving these goals, we all benefit from a more efficient and cost-effective healthcare marketplace.
But these goals run counter to what we see today. Large institutions benefit greatly from the current, deeply flawed system. Fee-for-service models still dominate the marketplace, prescription and specialty drug costs continue to soar, and members are left trying to navigate the healthcare landscape with little to no information to guide them. How can we trust the institutions that created the status quo to change it? They are the largest beneficiaries of the environment we have created, and their bottom lines drive their behavior.
Imagine Health refuses to accept the status quo, and we invite you to join the fight. This year, we will Evolve how employers think about healthcare benefits. We are going to reward the providers that deliver the highest quality care in the most efficient manner, while ensuring employers are directing their members to only the facilities and physicians that can demonstrate sustained clinical excellence. We are going to empower employers to leverage their collective negotiating power to drive meaningful and real change in their local markets. Together, we are going to rip this healthcare system open at its core, and we are going to change healthcare forever.
Can you Imagine the new reality? We can…it is already here…it is Imagine Health.

9 年Chris, thanks for the article. Having real conversations about the system we are in versus one that has a chance to work is critical in this industry. Look forward to seeing and hearing more from you and those around you as the new reality starts to be better understood.

9 年Absolutely agree. Regardless of the payment models (P4P, FFS, Capitation) it is going to be near impossible to to create alignment when the societal perspective (the best healthcare for everyone) factors into the capitalistic motivations of the industry (scale and profitability). All the while the majority of the population of consumers are complacent in their personal efforts to be healthy. — Evolution is a process that takes time, radical transformation feels more like what is needed.
