There are enormous challenges facing the failing, fragmented US health system. Despite being an advanced economy we spend $4.3T on healthcare which represents roughly 20% of our GDP – far more than any other nation. Despite this, costs accelerate and outcomes are lackluster. For these same reasons, there are enormous opportunities to impact lives and elevate health. This presentation will offer an overview of the US health care system geared to the non-healthcare entrepreneur seeking to advance their understanding of the industry and successfully navigate the landscape.
Dr. Anthony Dowidowicz serves as the Executive Medical Director of Regence BlueCross BlueShield and is an emergency physician by clinical training. In addition to his medical degree, Anthony received his MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management where he spent additional time pursing advanced research in system dynamics. He is the founder of the MIT Sloan Physicians Group and serves on the Health System Initiative Board.
