The need to rethink healthcare delivery is becoming increasingly urgent. The United States now spends more than $5 trillion annually on healthcare, while it is projected that $1 trillion in annual healthcare spending will shift over the next decade toward more personalized, digital, and community-based models of care. To me, that shift reflects a growing recognition that improving access may be just as important as developing the next breakthrough.
For too many patients, the greatest barrier to better care is not science. It is geography.
