Dear GREGORY MASON:
Your October 2019 digital issue of Managed Care is available.
This issue contains:
- Two Medical Directors Talk Some Shop
Steve Miller, MD, now at Cigna, and Alan Adler, MD, formerly of Indepen-dence Blue Cross of Philadelphia, spoke to us about their careers and the role of the medical director.
- When Will More Women Be the Boss?
The executive ranks of American health care are still heavily dominated by men. Mentoring and networking may help some women scramble up the career ladder. Some see a shift toward more women taking charge of their career prospects.
- Consulting: The Value May Be in the Details
Billions of dollars are spent on health care consultants every year. What does that money buy? Specialized knowledge-and sometimes a fresh take on a problem from an outsider. A veteran of the business says that it is knowing the nitty-gritty that really makes a difference.
-
Starting From Scratch Means Baking in Value
Clay Johnston, MD, and his colleagues are using the new Dell Medical School in Austin, Texas, and its affiliated health system to create viable value-based care.
-
The Drugstore-Clinic Mashup
CVS is branching out from its MinuteClinics and opening 1,500 "HealthHUBs" for chronic care. Walgreens and Humana are teaming up to create clinics for seniors. Will the convenience of drugstore clinics come at the expense of thoughtful, coordinated care?
