The Promising, Turbulent Future of American Health CareThe new health reform law will usher in a new era of opportunity, challenge, and risk for America's health insurers, providers, regulators, employers, and consumers. Acclaimed author, speaker, strategic advisor, and long-time health care insider Steve Hyde envisions a future of empowered consumers, expanded insurance choice, and dramatic innovation in the organization and delivery of medical care. He also foresees a virtual storm of what economist Joseph Schumpeter called "creative destruction," as fast-moving innovators usurp many established players through a process of "Anticipate; Innovate; Repeat." What emerges, Steve believes, will be a new health care order with the winners being those that can best maximize that most elusive of goals: patient value.
Such tectonic changes will arise in response to the major strategic challenges facing everyone involved in the financing and delivery of health and medical care. Four of the most far-reaching of these challenges:
1. A substantial increase in the role of government in both the regulation and financing of health care.
2. An end to the era of chronic unreimbursed care, to be replaced by a new era of chronic under-reimbursed care.
3. A major, long-term decline in employer-based health insurance.
4. The re-emergence of locally based health plans.
How industry participants, new and old, respond to these challenges will determine the shape and composition of the new order, as payers and providers jockey for position under a dramatically changed set of rules and market dynamics to ultimately serve the needs of patients who will themselves be adapting to new opportunities, incentives, and information to seek the best, most appropriate health care at the lowest cost to themselves.
Steve sorts through the key issues that will drive both the intense innovation and the turmoil that will determine who drops by the wayside and who will survive to be the dominant players in a new and increasingly turbulent health care financing and delivery system. But he goes beyond analysis to apply his extensive strategic, policy, and management experience to describe solid coping strategies for the key players going forward.
Steve speaks with authority, humor, and insight in distilling his decades of operational, investigative, and analytical experience to tease out the key factors that will drive change in health care for decades to come.
Achieving effective health care reform is actually simple. Just figure out how to get American consumers to demand the answers to two questions:
1. Quality For my medical conditions, which healthcare providers offer the highest quality, most appropriate care?
2. Price Of those top providers, which will do it for the lowest cost?
Making this dynamic work in healthcare requires fundamental insurance reform and innovative competition among insurers, doctors, and hospitals.
Insurance company executives, agents, medical providers, consumers, employers,the poor and the elderly all have huge stakes in the outcome of health reform, yet few understand how it will affect them. Veteran healthcare insider Stephen Hyde strips away the myths and misconceptions of the major reform and lays out the consequences -intended and otherwise - for all the key players..
Getting Medical Care with Twice the Quality AND Half the CostYour chances of getting the established standard of care from your doctor or hospital is the same as getting heads from a coin toss: 50/50. This medical quality problem, combined with a massively wasteful provider billing and collection system, has been a major cause of waste in the medical system. Correcting these two problems could reduce medical costs by at least half, while doubling quality. Health reform expert Stephen Hyde provides a lively discussion of these issues, along with innovative ways we can deal with them.
