Payers don\u2019t trust providers to do the right thing and provide appropriate care. And OK, there\u2019s some logic there considering that 25-ish% of health care delivered is low-value or unnecessary. On the other hand, some patients actually need the care and now it\u2019s painstaking for them to get it\u2014and that painstaking part of the sentence is borne by providers, at least logistically. So then the providers learn how to expedite getting their patients care by copying and pasting, and now they\u2019re gaming the system. Then more arduous processes get put in place, and now good physicians get caught in the same net as the less good ones and they begin to spiral toward moral injury and burnout. Let\u2019s get to the bottom of this. In this health care podcast, I speak with Ron Wince, CEO of Myndshft.
