“ We’ ve got to stop taking current payment systems and simply tweaking them, thinking that’ s going to fix the problem.”
As the industry grapples with workforce shortages, funding pressures, and the prospect of significant structural change, Jason believes many of healthcare’ s biggest challenges share a common thread.“ I would dramatically decrease the administrative burden. We spend so much time trying to figure out how to be compliant and meet all the rules and regulations. If I could wave a magic wand and see a dramatic decrease of the administrative burden that exists in the US healthcare system, knowing that there would be improved quality of care and that at the end of the day it’ s easier for patients to navigate the health system, that would be my wish.” ■
