The Role of the Primary Care Provider in Disease Prevention and Management in a Value-Based World

More than 50% of all health care spending (around $4T per year in the US) is spent on only 5% of the population, mostly on those with multiple chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure. While in some cases these conditions are congenital or inherited, the vast majority are acquired conditions that develop and worsen over time. Moreover, most are entirely preventable, reversible or can be delayed by many years.

Join healthcare industry leaders and value-based-healthcare champions Dr. Garry Welch (Silver Fern Healthcare), Dr. John Rodis (Arista Health), Dr. Kenny Cole (Ochsner Health)  and Dr. Bill Bestermann (Congruity Health) for a live discussion on keeping or returning patients to the bottom two tiers of the spend pyramid by primary prevention of chronic conditions and secondary prevention of the complications by optimal medical therapy.
