Here Comes the Prevention

We know that prevention, wellness, and chronic condition management delivers better outcomes, improves quality, and produces equity at a lower cost. Yet, the US averages just 5-7% of total healthcare expenditures for primary care services while 90% goes towards disease and treatment. 40% of adult Americans neither maintain primary care relationships nor have access to home visits or after-hour care, and report inadequate care coordination with specialists and hospitals. Virtual technologies have the potential to revolutionize primary care, drastically improve the delivery of healthcare services, and enable nontraditional players to enter into the industry. Interconnecting such virtual tech with advanced primary care models that are percolating in the industry, we can expect to see significant growth in a changing primary care market, particularly within government-sponsored coverage segments. Join these authorities as they examine the future of primary care and the lead role technology will play.
