U.S. health system ranks last among wealthy nations https://lnkd.in/eVcBhy8c #healthcare #medical #healthinsurance #rx #employeebenefits #innovativetotalhealthconsulting #health

This is an insightful read comparing life expectancy to health spending in countries around the world. How poor the USA fared vs other 1st world nations doesn’t surprise me one bit based on my time in 15 different countries. Along with playing catch-up to the rest of the world regarding proactive healthcare, the United States medical system is being driven by Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) aka Medical Mafia. If people want to learn about the silent hand driving healthcare cost in the USA, I strongly encourage you to google search “pharmacy benefit managers”(PBMs) + “healthcare costs” Although some clean transparent ones exist, you basically have a few major PBMs who have created an Oligopoly type market. If you’re interested to learn more about PBM’s, how to make a change in your health, etc, feel free to message me. Article: https://lnkd.in/gK3GAdmC

Get to know HEOR! What does “value” in healthcare truly mean? Watch the "HEOR Explained" video featuring health economist Jan Hansen, PhD, as she discusses how value extends beyond cost. #HEOR #healthcare #improving

“Once a patient becomes ill, they may desire all potentially beneficial healthcare regardless of cost, whereas the health plan, which must consider the impact on its own net costs (which can affect premiums paid by all members), will presumably be more judicious about its healthcare resources. The patient and health plan perspectives can be reconciled to some degree by considering only decisions made before the onset of illness…coat-effectiveness analysis is never used as a single input in a formulaic manner. Instead, decisions about (sometimes expensive) drugs and other health interventions involve complex factors involving many parties and interests. Cost-effectiveness analysis helps these parties consider how much health can be acquired given finite resources, but because different parties have different preferences and care about different resource pools, different populations and other factors, a single analysis will never suffice.” Peter Neumann Joshua Cohen Dan Ollendorf

After attending the World Health Assembly in Geneva in May and engaging with Health Ministers from across the globe, I found great inspiration in the resolutions that were passed. These resolutions for example included enhancing access to maternal care and newborn screening, vital for improving healthcare outcomes. On a personal note, countries led by Presidents/Prime Ministers committed to prioritizing health are more likely to achieve positive health results for their citizens. The increasing health challenges and costs faced by every country emphasises the need for a broader conversation that goes beyond just healthcare. Looking forward, it is essential for the health, business, and finance sectors to collaborate at a national level to ensure the successful integration of technology innovation - diagnostics, and treatments into the healthcare system. Efforts to boost public health prevention and awareness should be amplified. Finally do you think there should be regulations on health-related information available on the internet? Would that help individuals to prioritise health? As always I reiterate that without “good” health we do not have wealth. Revvity #wha77 #health
