On May 11th, A Second Opinion joined with Vim, a technology company building digital infrastructure for improved healthcare performance, for a live virtual discussion on “Assessing a New Era of Payer-Provider Partnerships.”
For our conversation, I’m joined by:
• Oron Afek, Co-Founder & CEO of Vim; he’s a serial entrepreneur who was previously part of the Israeli Special Forces,
and
• Tim Kaja, Senior Vice President of OptumCare, who is a 36-year veteran of United Health Group.
We cover evolving payment models, advancing information technology, and the shifting marketplace dynamics that are fueling accelerated collaboration between payers and providers.
