Three Messages for Motivated Healthcare Revolutionaries

Founder and CEO of 4sight Health David W. Johnson is having quite a year already. On the back of his new book, written with Paul Kuserow, the original healthcare revolutionary is out speaking about the major forces impacting healthcare and what smart financial executives are doing about it — even if that change is big and sometimes uncomfortable.

“You either get it or you don’t,” said Johnson. “I’m used to the pushback.” Hear his message in three places, and try these revolutionary-adjacent healthcare podcasts out for size.

Back to the Beginning

On DGTL Voices, Ed Marx joins the conversation to discuss the historical context of healthcare challenges, the forces driving change in the industry, and practical actions that healthcare executives can take to adapt to these changes. How can we be proactive in addressing the healthcare crisis? Hear more on, “Navigating the Future of Healthcare.” Listen.

Potential Transformation

Change will happen gradually, then suddenly, through a focus on holistic health integration and bringing care closer to the consumer, whether that’s at home, in the community, or at a preferred location. Hear the conversation on care redesign and care migration on Creating a New Healthcare podcast with Dr. Zeev Neuwirth. Listen.

Vision of the Future

Retail care models look different every day. What are patients really looking for, and how can healthcare systems deliver? Hear the point of view from Daryl Tol, from General Catalyst’s Health Assurance Ecosystem, on “Change is Here: Trends Transforming Healthcare Today.” Listen.
