Panel: The changing strategy for payers and providers
Don’t call them patients. As the landscape has changed to include care delivery in changing environments such as major retailers like Walmart and concierge services like One Medical, healthcare have worked to instead address the demands of the healthcare consumer — typically with a strong technology component behind it. How is that transforming care delivery — as well as how healthcare payers ultimately cover that care? We speak with experts to define the broader trends we’ve seen over the past year, how technology is changing how the industry and their customers interact and how the regulatory environment is responding.
