Episode 116: Nick Reber on Doctor Quality Analytics

Listening In (With Permission): Conversations About Today's Pressing Health Care Topics

Suzanne calls up Nick Reber, CEO and Founder of Garner Health to talk price transparency, analytics, and quality. So what do the data say? Well, they confirm a lot of what employer-purchasers are feeling at the moment. "We're seeing just about the fastest rate of health care inflation in our data ever." What's a solution? Price Transparency Data. We have all of this price transparency data, what are we going to do with it? Well, we need a new model if we're going to get consumers to use it. We have to get to them upstream, we have to make it really simple, and we have to change the incentives so that they save thousands of dollars by getting with the program.
