How physician-led innovation drives change

We sit down with Carrie Atcheson, a board-certified anesthesiologist and co-founder of Business Mindset MD, to explore the transformative potential of physician-led innovation in health care. We delve into how the acquisition of physician practices and surgery centers by major corporations like UnitedHealth Group is reshaping patient care, and the role of physician leadership in driving this change. Carrie shares insights on balancing profitability with high-value care, integrating health care services, and the opportunities for simplifying patient experiences through IT solutions. We also discuss the growing importance of home-based primary care and the challenges of engaging physicians in meaningful leadership roles.
