In this episode, Dr. Farzad Mostashari, co-founder and CEO of Aledade, discusses how value-based care finally makes prevention profitable by rewarding primary care for keeping patients healthy rather than treating avoidable disease. He reflects on his path from public health and federal EHR leadership to building a nationwide platform that partners with independent practices to take total-cost-of-care contracts. Dr. Mostashari covers why fee-for-service warped EHRs into billing tools, how accountable care models reversed that logic, and why culture, long-term thinking, and technology at scale matter. He shares results from thousands of practices achieving higher blood-pressure control by focusing on stroke prevention, explains the economics of Medicare Shared Savings and expanding private contracts, and explores how AI can deliver just-in-time insights across hundreds of EHRs without forcing workflow change.  Tune in and learn how aligning incentives, primary care, and AI can deliver better outcomes at lower cost!
