Episode notes

Allodate enabled PCPs and organizations to meet those cost savings. The allodate secret sauce was published nine years ago, 10 years ago, and is public. It's a toolkit for physician led account there. Much of what what that toolkit says we frankly, you know, took from all the writing and thinking that had been done on advanced primary care.

Founded in 2014, Aledade works with over 11,000 physicians across 40 States accounting for 1.7 million patients under management in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, commercial and Medicaid contracts.

Farzad Mostashari has spent his career in health care policy and Health Information Technology.

Farzad previously served as the National Coordinator for Health IT in the Department of Health and Human Services. Prior to his work at the Office of the National Coordinator, he founded the NYC Primary Care Information project, which equipped physicians and underserved communities with electronic health records. He completed medical school at the Yale School of Medicine and a Master’s degree in Population Health from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

In this episode we talk about Farzad’s journey to healthcare, how he started Aledade, the importance of independent physicians in value-based care, how Aledade scaled as a profitable health tech company, and advice he has for founders.
