All too often, the people building healthcare solutions in the public sector have never seen a patient. The same goes for policymakers and the voices of real people with real health problems get lost.
That’s why Andy Slavitt, General Partner of Town Hall Ventures, advocates for a collaborative approach to solving critical problems in healthcare - an approach that leverages the lived experiences of everyday Americans to inform innovation and policy. Andy has led many of the nation's most important healthcare initiatives, serving as President Obama's Head of Medicare and Medicaid and overseeing the turnaround, implementation, and defense of the Affordable Care Act.
In this episode, Andy joins hosts Dr. Jessica Shepherd and Dr. Gautam Gulati to discuss the future of public-private partnerships to drive innovation and policy decision making. He explains why policy drives innovation in healthcare, exploring the obstacles to adopting effective policy on a national level and what prevents hospital systems from prioritizing prevention over treatment.
