“Unfortunately, so much value-based care is kind of operating almost like a loyalty rewards program, rather than truly something that can change what’s paid for in health care,” Waymark CEO Dr. Rajaie Batniji said at #FortuneHealth. The U.S. health system has often been criticized for putting profits above patients with exorbitant fees and overcomplicated processes that get in the way of keeping people healthy.

ICYMI: Our CEO Rajaie Batniji spoke at Fortune Brainstorm Health this week on value-based care and AI. Thanks to Christina Farr, Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA, and Brent Nicholson for an insightful discussion! “So much of how we talk about AI in healthcare is focused on replacing humans, and I think that’s totally wrong. Our approach to AI development is to automate the routine tasks so that we can allow our care team to spend as much as possible with patients. Second, let’s automate the identification of which patients are going to benefit from certain services so that we can spend our time targeting the appropriate groups. That’s where you have step-change in improving access to care.” Watch the recording here: https://wymrk.co/3KdruPb
