Healthcare Beyond the Status Quo with Dan McCoy

Healthcare costs keep rising, incentives keep pointing the wrong direction, and patients keep getting caught in the middle. So what would it actually take to build a system that works? In this episode of The Leadership Lab, Asbel Montes sits down with Dr. Dan McCoy, a physician, healthcare executive, and innovator, to make the structural case for why the system must change and what that change could look like. From the volume-over-value trap to the administrative burden crushing providers and payers alike, Dr. McCoy pulls back the curtain on where the system breaks down, where transparency is failing consumers, and how AI and connected data can either solve the problem or deepen it depending on how leaders choose to act. This is a conversation for healthcare leaders, employers, payers, and providers who are done treating symptoms and ready to talk about root causes. If you work in healthcare finance, benefits, operations, or policy, this is the conversation you have been waiting for.   🔗 Learn more about Solutions Group: www.solutionsgroup.com   ABOUT DR.
