S24E24 - Management with Employees Regarding Health Care Efficiency, with Dr. Sanjay Prasad

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Dr. Sanjay Prasad about management with employees regarding health care efficiency. See the video here: https://youtu.be/cKi_iJzY-Es With nearly 30 years of practice in the super-specialized field of otology, neurotology, and skull base surgery, a subspecialty within otolaryngology head and neck surgery (ENT), Dr. Sanjay Prasad (www.linkedin.com/in/sanjay-prasad-md-facs-ceo-surgiquality-surgiconnect) is one of the few surgeons in his specialty to complete three fellowships in neurotology.  As a medical director for an ambulatory surgery center, he was one of the first to start bundling surgical services for all-inclusive prices in 2014. In the same year, Prasad founded SurgiPrice, Inc. with subsidiaries SurgiQuality and SurgiConnect. His thirty years as a surgeon and managing the care of tens of thousands has given him deep insight into the flaws in the surgery referral process. Dr. Prasad reveals that between 10–20 percent of all surgeries in the US are unnecessary, either because of misdiagnosis or because a more conservative therapy may have been just as or even more effective. In his new book, Resetting Healthcare, Dr. Sanjay Prasad examines the lack of transparency in surgical care and offers a solution to the problem: a new, innovative tool called SurgiQuality that connects patients with qualified surgeons, offering second and third opinions, and even suggesting more conservative, non-surgical solutions as appropriate.
