From the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010
to the disruptions of a once-in-a-century pandemic, the past decade has
seen rapid evolution in the US healthcare system. Behind the partisan
political controversy, where does American healthcare stand today?
What’s working in the system and what isn’t? And are we any closer to a
sustainable approach that can both lower costs and improve outcomes?
In this episode of CEO Perspectives, The Conference
Board CEO Steve
Odland hosts a wide-ranging conversation Steve Messinger,
partner at ECG Management Consultants and recognized leader in
healthcare consulting.
·What has changed since the enactment of the ACA? A decade
after passage, how has the landmark bill lived up to its goals on
healthcare quality, access, and cost?
·Why is healthcare so expensive in the US, and what areas
can be targeted to control costs: Preventative care? Acute care?
Prescriptions? The fee-for-service model?
·What can we learn from other countries? What are pros and
cons can we take from systems such as those in Canada, the UK, the rest
of Europe, and further afield?
·Why is healthcare so difficult to “fix”? Are there any
obvious changes to regulations or policy choices that can deliver major
benefits at relatively little cost in funds and disruption?
