the three cohosts
 
 
Join Fred Goldstein, Gregg Masters and Doug Goldstein as they discuss recent news and issues in population health. This week’s show will focus on Evolent Health and their recently announced IPO as well as the Quantified self and health care data, who’s using it, and what are some of the issues the industry and we face. This show was prerecorded due to scheduling conflicts and will be played at the normal time, 12 pm eastern on Wednesday May 27. There were some issues with the audio, but they have been addressed for next week’s show on June 3 with Jennifer Drago of Sun Health discussing their Community-based Care Transitions Program.
Here’s some background on the two topics:
