Reflections on our podcast series “Reinventing Healthcare with Technology” as reform languishes in Washington

healthcare ad homepage photo (uncategorized)When we started our podcast series in December, the healthcare debates in Washington were a hot and tangled mess.

In the final episode, after Matt speaks, I offer some closing perspectives on the future of healthcare, most of all this:

Five Ways Health Care Wastes Time and Money

I can think of few more maddening ways to spend my time than waiting for medical attention.  I, for one, have switched doctors due to inept appointment scheduling in the past, and the scrutiny the health care system has taken of late in the media further illustrates the problem – we are wasting time and money in doctor’s offices and emergency rooms.

According to CNNMoney.com, more than $1.2 trillion spent on health care each year is wasted.  Let’s take a look at some causes and present some possible solutions.  Continue reading after video >>
