Scaling Rural Value-Based Care With Main Street Health

Brad Smith, Chairman and CEO of Main Street Health, shares the benefits of more coordinated value-based care models for rural America. Brad shares his vision for improving care in rural areas, the need to innovate more for complex Medicaid populations, and the role that health navigators can play in this critical transformation.  He recently spoke on this topic at the inaugural Healthcare Sessions conference in Nashville, hosted by the Nashville Health Care Council.  All that, plus the Flava of the Week about Optum and Uber’s new partnership. Does Consumer Innovation mean the same thing to different types of organizations, and are partnerships a viable means of designing consumer first services and benefits?  This show is produced by Shift Forward Health, the consumer advisory firm and community that's writing the playbook for consumer-first health.
