On this episode of Strata Stories, we talk with Dana Strauss Senior Director of Government Affairs at CVS Health

2. The Role of PT’s in Population Health
3. Value-Based Care and Financial Incentives
4. Building Relationships with Primary Care Providers

Episode Highlight: “Until you shift the payment incentives, theres no incentive for physicians to care at all about educating their patients to come see a PT first after something like an ankle sprain. I will argue if you don’t have physician buy-in, you are never going to be considered mainstream medicine…identify yourself at the same table as the primary care team and being an integral part.”
