4sight Health Presents: Platforming Healthcare: Owning Hospitals Is So 2015Following quickly on 2017's CVS-Aetna merger announcement, the news that Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan (News - Alert) Chase joined forces to create a new healthcare company has caused consternation among traditional players in the healthcare marketplace. A timely article by Amy Compton-Phillips, executive vice president and chief clinical officer for Providence St. Joseph Health, and David W. Johnson, author of Market vs. Medicine: America's Epic Fight for Better, Affordable Healthcare, helps explain the seismic changes confronting the industry. Compton-Phillips and Johnson describe how "platform" businesses like Amazon have disrupted industry after industry and why healthcare is next. They describe what health systems and other provider and service organizations must do to position themselves for success in an increasingly competitive market in which quality and customer experience determine winners and losers. A guest commentary is published this week in Modern Healthcare as "Systems must 'let go' of owning, operating everything and focus on high value, patient experience." A longer form is distributed through 4sight Health channels as "Platforming Healthcare: Owning Hospitals Is So 2015."
