Rahul Dubey is the founder of Percynal Health Innovations. He’s also the former chief innovation officer at AHIP—that’s America’s Health Insurance Plans. AHIP is a trade group for insurance carriers, health systems, best-in-breed solution providers, and others. Rahul has created what he calls strategic working groups, in which he gets together essential stakeholders within a regional geography to collaborate and figure out innovative best-in-class emerging solutions and approaches.
The first thing they do in these strategic working groups is to identify common problems. Since the best solutions solve the best problems for the most stakeholders, this seems like a pretty decent way to start. What are some of the challenges that Rahul has identified with payers and providers and other stakeholders to solve for? Here’s your listicle:
- Really get to population health management and just population health
- Operational inefficiencies
- Information trafficking without getting anything out of it is not gonna work anymore
- Level up health literacy
Here’s a point Rahul makes that I’m continuing to think about. He says that payers should be grade aggregators—aggregators of data, aggregators of solutions that they should be able to distribute to other essential stakeholders. I heard somebody else say the other day that the new payer is more like an entity that provides comprehensive services.
