Independent physician practices are facing an uphill battle in an era where hospitals are growing increasingly larger.

With their vast resources and extensive networks, hospitals often hold a considerable advantage when it comes to negotiating contracts with insurance companies and leveraging economies of scale. This discrepancy can lead to a significant disadvantage for independent physicians, making it harder for them to compete for patients, attract top talent, and maintain financial stability. 

In this episode of CareTalk, hosts John Driscoll and David Williams discuss how value-based care and AI technology can help independent practitioners survive healthcare’s consolidation trend.

TOPICS
1:06 Is the independent practice a good thing?
10:28 Primary care and concierge medicine
20:16 Does AI have a place in medical care?
22:35 Independent practices: how to survive and prosper

Johnny and Andrew need backup on who to blame for the pandemic, podcasts not needing so many producers, when to return something you've accidentally stolen, and pediatrician's for all. 

You asked, and we delivered! As we collected questions from YOU, our WeSTAT community about what you wanted to ask Dr. Rachel about regarding The Corona and your kids-the most popular query centered around the social and emotional health of our kiddos and back to school.
In this episode, the Ohio chapter Pediatrician of the Year (2019) for the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Andrew Garner, answers our plethora of questions on how all this COVID stress is impacting our kids. Whether it is in person-school, virtual learning, socialization, or the lack thereof, and the stress that hangs over us all like the heavy cloud of 2020, Dr. Garner, who co-authored the AAP's technical report and policy statement on childhood toxic stress, gives us many tangible takeaways and ideas on how to best manage this historic time, even if they can't be black and white.

Show Notes:
