The Moving to Value Alliance (MTVA) has been promoting value in health care for over 7 years. Though we’ve seen some progress, spending is steadily rising, many health outcomes remain unchanged, and burnout is a real problem for healthcare professionals.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but that’s not what MTVA – nor our special guest this week – stand for.
“I feel like it’s a choice in a way to be pessimistic or optimistic. You know that change is slow until it’s really fast, that’s how it always works.”
Who better to discuss the state of the movement to value in healthcare than Stacey Richter?! As host of the top healthcare podcast Relentless Health Value, Stacey is usually the one asking questions – she’s interviewed hundreds of experts from all corners of the industry. We’re honored she let us turn the tables for this conversation with MTVA Board Members.
Stacey is tuned into the healthcare landscape. In this episode, we learn about her “why” and discuss the role of technology and operational excellence, the importance of primary care, and how the term “value” has been coopted. Stacey is hopeful for the future, and she points to the local level for sources of inspiration.
“I firmly believe that when enough people begin to push in the same direction, when the reputational damage starts to happen from people who are overly putting profits over patients in really obvious and unpalatable ways, that's when things start to change.”
In addition to hosting Relentless Health Value, Stacey is co-president of QC Health – a public benefit corporation finding cost-effective ways to improve the health of Americans. MTVA Board Member John Rodis, MD works with Stacey as the Benefit Director of QC Health.
Stacey is also co-president of Aventria Health Group, a consultancy working with clients who endeavor to form collaborations with payers, providers, pharma, employer organizations or patient advocacy groups.
