Mike Rhoades, Chief Executive Officer, Alera Health & Monica E. Oss, Chief Executive Officer, OPEN MINDS discuss financial sustainability, integration, and the evolving role of Clinically Integrated Networks in value based care.
As health care evolves, organizations are becoming increasingly cognizant about the importance of whole person care, population health and successfully navigating the rapidly growing value based care market. In this engaging interview, Monica and Mike explore how organizations can adapt to meet the growth of whole person care and integrated delivery systems, what that means for financial sustainability for traditional provider organizations, and the role of clinically integrated networks as a strategic solution to these market challenges.
