Real Value-Drivers of a Healthcare Business
Episode Highlight:
“We can’t have it both ways. We can’t say we want affordable, accessible care one day and then demonize the organizations that are doing arguably the most work in making healthcare affordable and accessible on the next day.”
Is Big Healthcare a Net Positive or Net Negative for Society?
We hear this all the time: in the news, online, and during interviews with healthcare professionals. We hear that “Big Healthcare” is causing extreme damage to society. People cite things like: delayed authorizations, denied care, reducing provider reimbursement or payment, etc. Books have been written about how Big Healthcare Became Big Business. It seems large healthcare conglomerates garner most, if not all, of the criticism for problems within the healthcare system. But one must ask the question: are large healthcare companies inherently a negative thing within the industry? Do they play a role in cost reduction and access to needed healthcare services?
This week, I talk a little bit about this idea of “Big Healthcare” and whether it’s a net negative or a net positive for society as a whole. I also discuss what small healthcare business owners should think about when it comes to running their businesses planning for the future.
