HealthBI President Scott McFarland Quoted in Becker’s Hospital CFO Report on the Amazon, JPMorgan, Berkshire Partnership
HealthBI president Scott McFarland was quoted in a February 7, 2018 online article in Becker’s Hospital CFO Report entitled, “What the Amazon, JPMorgan, Berkshire partnership means for healthcare: 35 executives respond.”
Reactions to the announcement and views about the partnership were shared by 35 executives from across the health care industry, including McFarland who said:
“Kudos to any venture that is attempting to rein in our nation’s exorbitant healthcare bill, provided it doesn’t punish patients or providers. And the only way to avoid that is—you guessed it—value-based care. So, I would certainly hope that this partnership’s objectives include closing care gaps and identifying patients—or in this case, employees—who are most at risk of a severe health event, and then see they get the appropriate care in time to prevent an expensive hospitalization.”
