Q&A with Amir Dan Rubin The CEO of One Medical
Q: What are some of the biggest contributors to these challenges and how can we overcome them?
A: One of the underlying challenges driving the rising the cost of health care is that most of the health system’s stakeholders have few incentives, if not outright disincentives, to manage expenditures. Much of the economics in the system is driven by fee-for-service payments, which reward utilization of expensive interventions, and discount approaches which are time-intensive, cognitive-oriented, behavior-directed, or technologically outside the reimbursement norms.
Q: How will health care need to be changed to create a balanced equilibrium between all the stakeholders, including payers and patients?
A: Greater focus and economic investment in innovative primary care models is needed. Such models–with proper alignment of economic incentives, technology, and operating models–can advance consumer engagement, health improvement, cost avoidance, and provider resilience.
Q: What should be done to reshape medicine and provide equal health care for all?
A: Greater focus and economic investment in innovative primary care models is needed. Such models–with proper alignment of economic incentives, technology, and operating models–can advance consumer engagement, health improvement, cost avoidance, and provider resilience.
Q: How can we deliver care that is highly patient-centered with the current challenges in place? What needs to be done?
A: At One Medical we have developed a consumer-oriented model that delivers premier levels of satisfaction with Net Promotor Scores above 90%, improved health and quality outcomes, and reductions in the total cost of care. Our member-based, technology-powered, salaried primary care model allows for frictionless in-office and digital access, while giving providers and members the technological tools, operating systems, and aligned incentives to advance outcomes.
