In this riveting interview we learned so much from Dr. Robert Pearl, professor at the Stanford University Schools of Medicine and Business, Author, and Former CEO within The Permanente Medical Group.

Dr. Pearl shared so many amazing insights about healthcare, from why it’s not working, to how it can work, to why a captiated system rooted in value-based care is so important, and why it’s challenging for fee-for-service health systems to switch to a captitated system. 

He also tells us how critical embracing generative AI will be for the future of healthcare, how AI can help improve empathetic care, and how retail giants Amazon, Walmart, and CVS  are poised to completely disrupt our current system.Do not miss this interview, it’s remarkable!!!
