I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to interact with and learn from Patrick Lee about leadership and gratitude during classes at Kellogg School of Management. His insights have been invaluable. For those interested in understanding how public health institutions can drive meaningful change, I highly recommend following the impactful work of Dr. Lee at Central Health. His actions and initiatives are exemplary in this domain, and observing his approach can provide valuable lessons on effecting positive transformation within the public health sector. https://lnkd.in/e6DjzVFd

How do we make healthcare more accessible? I typically focus on technology. But regulation is key. Please take a look at this insightful paper from Health Care Management Education at Dartmouth

Elliott Fisher and Carrie Colla, faculty at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice and the Master of Health Care Delivery Science (MHCDS) program at Dartmouth, tackle one of the most pressing issues facing U.S. health care today: rising costs. In their new perspective published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Fisher and Colla argue that states must be the ones to address ballooning health care costs. With federal reforms stagnating, states have the opportunity to address the drivers of low-value health spending. Fisher and Colla lay out four pillars of reform that they urge states adopt to slow cost growth and improve patient outcomes, including hospital global budgets and regulations to pricing power. While resistance to reform is inevitable, Fisher and Colla believe that state-level reform is both possible and the best path towards affordable health care for Americans.
