S4 E5: Unleashing the Potential of Technology in Value-Based Care
In value-based care, technology is the catalyst, but success requires management and aligned incentives for better, cost-effective care.
In today's episode, Jean-Claude Sagbini, a leading expert in technology and engineering for population health management at Lumeris shares the foundational role of technology in succeeding in value-based care within healthcare. Jean-Claude underscores the importance of understanding the populations and individual patients being served, which requires access to diverse, often unstructured healthcare data. He explores the vital role technology plays in value-based care and how it enables healthcare providers to understand and serve their patient populations effectively. Jean-Claude highlights the challenges of accessing and aggregating vast amounts of healthcare data and the transformative insights that can be derived from this data through machine learning and AI. He discusses Lumeris' approach to using generative AI, keeping physicians at the forefront, and implementing necessary guardrails to ensure quality outcomes. Furthermore, he explores the future of primary care and how AI-powered solutions can revolutionize the way healthcare services are delivered.
Join us as we discuss the vital role of technology in value-based care, the use of generative AI, and the future of AI-powered primary care.
