Collaboration Between Healthcare Providers, Payers, and Others Is Required to Improve Chronic Care Patient Outcomes (INBW35)
Building on an earlier inbetweenisode, Stacey Richter distills a talk she gave at the Moving to Value Alliance symposium into the two major patient problems — care gaps and unaffordability — that can only be solved through healthcare stakeholder collaboration.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
✅ Why “care gap” measurement often misses far more gaps than it catches
✅ How chronic care management by care gap is “like cooking with a fire extinguisher”
✅ Why financial toxicity is clinical toxicity, and why even insured patients still can’t afford their care
✅ How to make healthcare more affordable by navigating patients to high-quality, fairly priced providers
✅ Why the business model of revenue maximization is the real root cause behind the lack of collaboration
WHY THIS MATTERS
Chronic care patients face two solvable problems — fragmented, gap-ridden journeys and unaffordable care — and both require genuine collaboration among stakeholders who don’t always have aligned incentives. Success stories already exist at the local-market level; the work now is building the roadmap and the collaborations to scale them.
