WellBe Senior Medical: Re-inventing At-home Care with Dr. Iyad Houshan

In this segment of a discussion with Dr. Iyad Houshan, the speaker critiques the current state of primary care and disease management, emphasizing that primary care physicians (PCPs) possess the necessary knowledge but the system delivers ineffective, fragmented care. Key problems identified include a lack of physician advocacy for patients, insufficient advocacy for physicians themselves, and misaligned incentives that extend beyond financial considerations. The speaker argues that incentives should be tied to patient-centered outcomes rather than generic metrics such as admissions per 1,000. By engaging patients to understand their wishes and desired outcomes, care models can be measured and improved based on what truly matters to patients, positioning outcome alignment as a byproduct of effective care delivery.
