Every Great Healthcare Strategy Needs a Resident Skeptic.
For over 40 years, I’ve seen what happens when promising population health and digital solutions hit the wall of real-world operational reality. I’m here to make sure yours doesn't.
In corporate boardrooms, staff meetings and venture pitches across healthcare, consensus is easy to come by, especially when the latest savior solution, shiny tech, enthusiastic founders, and big promises take center stage. But as major investors and governance experts know, every board and leadership team needs a naysayer: someone willing to challenge groupthink, stress-test the model, and say what others won't.
My go-to phrase after four decades as both a founder and at large corporations in healthcare operations, managed care, and population health is simple: “I see the error on the page.” During graduate school my nickname was “brutally honest” as I questioned hospital CEOs during our Friday class after visiting their facility earlier in the week.
Too often, healthcare tools, population health programs, and digital health apps are built with great intentions, only to fall short because the organizations knowledge of the healthcare world is limited, they are mediocre under the hood, missing critical features, or detached from how care actually gets delivered.
At Accountable Health, we serve as that indispensable, experienced skeptic. We challenge assumptions before expensive mistakes happen, helping payers, health systems, and tech vendors bridge the gap between what you think you have and what’s going to be able to enter the market and solve the problem.
The Population Health Sycle (TM) is our proprietary model to build successful population health and care management programs.
Success in Population Health requires more than just data—it requires a deep understanding of how healthcare is delivered and financed, integrated with a mastery of the socioeconomic drivers and community influencers—from local government and urban planners to employers and social services—that shape health outcomes outside the clinic walls.
