Medicare & Medicaid in the Digital Age: Strategies to Improve Access and Engagement
Manage episode 509109605 series 3590101
What if the key to fixing care delivery and performance isn’t another portal or reminder, but a brain-first approach that restores purpose for clinicians and empowers patients to live a healthier life?
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Michael Barr, former senior leader at NCQA and the American College of Physicians, now founder of MEDIS, to explore how value-based care, behavioral science, and practical digital tools can relieve pressure on Medicare and Medicaid without losing the human touch.
Together with our hosts, Dr. Barr unpacks the forces reshaping the landscape — surging enrollment, budget constraints, access bottlenecks, and underinvestment in primary care, and discusses how we can make changes to return joy in practice for clinicians and expand access and improve outcomes for patients.
Listen and Learn:
- The biggest forces driving stress in Medicare & Medicaid today
- How clinician and patient motivation drive engagement
- Practical ways to design tech-enabled programs that feel personal
- How behavioral science can build trust and confidence in hard-to-reach populations
If you work in Medicare or Medicaid performance, lead a population health team, or simply want to see how digital health can drive real behavior change, this episode is your roadmap.
