Share your personal
interest in health and healthcare system improvement. What are you
currently working on that you are most excited about? How do you
think it will drive improvements to health and healthcare in the
community?
We’re very focused on more contemporary
approaches to benefit design incorporating alternative payment
models to align the incentives of patients, providers and payers of
care. This work is quite challenging but will, hopefully, result in
achieving better value of care and a more rational payment model.
We are also very interested in addressing our community’s mental
health and substance use disorder challenges. These are highly
complex problems that still carry significant stigma and have grave
public health impact. We believe moving prevention upstream to
youth and young adults will, ultimately, nurture a future
generation of adults to develop the resilience necessary to cope
with the many challenges and hardships of life.
Why do you think a multi-stakeholder coalition like the
KHC is needed in the community?
It is important to have a neutral
convener of all key stakeholders within the healthcare ecosystem.
As the “Switzerland” of healthcare, the KHC’s agenda is
thoughtfully mapped to the priorities of the community it serves,
rather than developed in a vacuum according to its own priorities.
Why do you and your organization belong to the KHC? What
do you find most valuable as a member?
Health and healthcare are important
priorities for GE Appliances. Our business has been a part of this
community for many decades— this is home for our employees and
their families. Our employees are our greatest asset and we have a
responsibility to support their health and well-being, not only in
our own backyard, but also in the communities in which they live.
Given the many challenges and inter-dependencies within healthcare,
we’ll never be able to fundamentally transform the system without
collaboration among all core stakeholders in our community. The KHC
has convened, moderated, and led important bodies of work that
align well with GE Appliances’ healthcare priorities, including
alternative payment models, behavioral health, and measurement
alignment.
