In a fully transitioned value-based care landscape, what are things the healthcare system would be focused on or paying attention to that it isn’t right now?
When you think about really dropping the total cost of care and providing the best healthcare to the people you’re caring for, you’ve got to think of them when they’re not in your hospitals and not in your clinics.

I think that’s a lot of the pieces that get left behind, historically.
I think you also have to think beyond someone’s disease process. You have to think about how people engage in healthcare and what their behaviors are so that you can do interventions to help with those types of behaviors and meet their needs.
