Interview with Novocardia CEO Dr. Dan Blumenthal

Value based care is often associated with primary care, but the big opportunities are in specialties like cardiology and oncology. Dr. Dan Blumenthal is founder and president of Novocardia, which brings a value based approach to cardiology.

I enjoyed hearing about Dr. Blumenthal's upbringing in a medical family and his formative international experiences, including helping Soviet nuclear scientists transition productively at the end of the Cold War.

Unlike a lot of MD/MBAs, Dr. Blumenthal continues to practice medicine and considers that to be an essential part of his life.
