Some of Our Clients

A few words from four of Empiric Health’s physician partners on the pandemic, healthcare’s capacity for change, and the impact of COVID-19 on pushing value improvement:

“…the dialogue that’s happening amongst our physician community is in a different place than it’s ever been before…I think that camaraderie and that conversation around how we all need one another, now is the time to capitalize on that.”

- Nick Mickas, MD, Medical Director, Clinical Operations, John Muir Health

“…this is a reality check for surgeons…for a healthcare system that’s making a transition from a fee for service…to a population risk-based model…is the reality that in a fee for service model the OR is basically an economic engine that drives the hospital but as you transition to a population risk-based model, that economic engine suddenly becomes a cost center.”

- David Skarda, MD, Senior Medical Director Value-based Care, Intermountain Healthcare

“…I think it was important for us to actually view the events of COVID-19, so far in 2020, as an opportunity to help us move some of our value improvement initiatives forward.”

- David Skarda, MD, Senior Medical Director Value-based Care, Intermountain Healthcare

“…I would challenge us to then look at ‘okay, so what do we know about a standard cholecystectomy patient and can’t we come to consensus around that?…and hardwire that so we can free up our brains to be focusing on others things.”

- Nick Mickas, MD, Medical Director, Clinical Operations, John Muir Health

“…one of the big learnings…surprises for me…from a healthcare system standpoint is the capacity for change and the resiliency of our system, providers, and associates was much much higher than we anticipated…learning from that going forward is going to create a wonderful opportunity for meaningful change.”

- Simon Payne, MD, CMO Clinical and Operational Transformation, SCL Health

“…we have now demonstrated the ability to change at a rate that has never been seen in healthcare before…we have a saying around here ‘never waste a good crisis’…and in healthcare, we can’t waste this crisis. We have demonstrated our ability to evolve at light speed, and to be different, and I think we can’t forget that.”

- Ashok Rai, MD, CEO and President, Prevea Health, Hospital Sisters Health System
