“We are still far from understanding how healthcare practice can be improved rapidly, comprehensively, at large scale, and sustainably. In fact, this observation has been made several times in previous decades.” Published May, 2019
We spend more money per person on healthcare than anyone else ever in human history. In 2017, life expectancy went down for the first time since World War One—and keeps declining. For most of the leading causes of death, mortality rates are higher in the U.S. than in comparable countries.
Over 50% of U.S. physicians exhibit signs of burnout, while committing suicide at double the average rate. Over 30% of other licensed medical professionals suffer. Who cares for the caregivers?
Over 60% of bankruptcies in the United States are tied to illness and the cost of getting treatment. Recent legislation to help keep people out of bankruptcy hasn’t helped. GoFundMe CEO confirms 1 in 3 campaigns are for medical expenses.
Everyone’s talking about how Healthcare needs to change — the debate continues to rage between Medicare for All and an unregulated free market. Efforts to improve healthcare are fragmented, disjointed, and often only complicate matters further.
Reboot Healthcare is doing the hard work of bringing all stakeholder perspectives together. We are committed to clarifying and informing the discussions legislative bodies, health plans, and technology vendors have by communicating what people actually want.
