Episode Description

In this inbetweenisode, Stacey Richter pulls together the wisdom of Relentless Health Value guests from throughout 2020 to reveal a common thread running through nearly every conversation about fixing health care.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

✅ Why patients so often fall through the cracks when their providers, payers, and PBMs aren't "singing off the same sheet of music"

✅ The difference between vertical and lateral/horizontal collaborations in health care

✅ Why so many solutions to health care's problems already exist — they just haven't been broadly adopted

✅ What the essential ingredients of a successful cross-organization collaboration are

✅ Why 2020's guests kept landing on the same answer: collaboration, not more silos, is the path forward

WHY THIS MATTERS

Stacey set out to find a common thread of wisdom across a year's worth of RHV guests, and found one: patients suffer most when the organizations meant to serve them — providers, payers, PBMs — operate in their own silos instead of collaborating. Pulling together voices from across 2020, from health system innovation to payer strategy to patient advocacy, the throughline is the same: real transformation depends on organizations finding ways to work together, vertically and horizontally, rather than each optimizing for itself.
