Pioneering Population Health: Aligning Payment to Outcomes w/ Dr. David Nash

“There are medical schools whose mission is to build the researchers of the future, we all know who those are. There are other medical schools to build the community clinician of the future, great. And I’m about: let’s build the scholars and leaders in quality and in population health for the future.” Professor David Nash, MD, MBA joins MTVA for a conversation about his trailblazing career and the past, present, and future of population health. Dr. Nash shares how he found himself as the Founding Dean of the first college of population health in the country, and the trials and tribulations of starting this school from scratch.  We discuss the roles of mentorship and medical school curriculum in building the physician leaders of the future, the importance of aligning economics with outcomes, and Dr. Nash shares hopes for fixing our broken health system in the coming years.  “I’ll work with anybody who’s aligned with the no outcome, no income theory.” Check out Dr. Nash’s recent bestseller “How Covid Crashed the System: A Guide to Fixing American Health Care”.  ———————————— We’re excited to welcome like-minded organizations and individuals to join the MTVA Membership program!  As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on support from our grassroots network to advance our mission of creating a value-based health system with high-quality patient outcomes at a reasonable cost.
