Transforming Healthcare from Volume to Value: Upsides, Obstacles and Big Ideas with JB Muñoz, MD
In this episode of the Message Engineer podcast, host Maureen Shaffer, CEO, Mingletoe, shares her insightful conversation with healthcare expert, JB Muñoz, MD. Dr. Muñoz is currently a Visiting Fellow at MedTechVets and Director, Network Development at Pearl Health. Dr. Muñoz was previously a Medical Director and Surgical Intensivist at the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
We dive deep into the world of healthcare and discuss important topics that affect us all. Here are three takeaways:
1. The importance of thinking and acting holistically at the societal level. To move from volume to value in health care, Dr. Muñoz emphasizes the need to think across sectors and to have a broader view of the world to move the big mothership that is healthcare.
2. How to align health care incentives for prevention. Dr. Muñoz describes an example of internists purchasing air conditioners during a heatwave for seniors to prevent heat-related medical issues–a win for patients, for medical providers, and for payers.
3. The startup culture and how to transition from military life. We discuss the cultural values of a healthcare startup called Pearl Health, which has "anything is possible" as its number one value and MedTechVets which helps veterans transition into medtech, medical devices, and pharma.
