AH007 - There’s No Value-Based Care Without Considering Pharmacy, with Sunil Budhrani, MD

In this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, Dr. Sunil Budhrani, Chief Innovation and Medical Officer at Capital Rx, discusses the intersection of value-based care and pharmacy. He explains the concept of value-based care in a clear and relatable way and describes how it has evolved over the years. Dr. Budhrani, who remains an active ER physician, shares his experiences from different roles across the healthcare system and highlights the fragmentation and silos that hinder the progress toward a true value-based care system. He emphasizes the importance of sharing data and integrating pharmacy in value-based care programs to go beyond just scratching the surface, to address the needs of underserved communities and pay physicians for improving patient outcomes and helping to reduce healthcare costs.
