About this episode
Donovan Pyle discusses strategies for employers to reform healthcare spending and improve value.
Healthcare is the second or third largest expense of most employers. As costs continue to rise, hidden incentives, legacy brokerage models and lack of transparency keep employers stuck in the same expensive cycle. Donovan Pyle, CEO of Health Compass Consulting, offers a sharp diagnosis of the barriers employers face in reforming this system, as well as the strategies employers can put in play to get more value from their healthcare spending. Drawing on insights from his new book, Fixing Healthcare: How Executives Can Save Their People, Their Business, and the Economy , Donovan maps out what it takes to flip the script: building a value-driven benefits strategy, eliminating waste and improving outcomes. Join us for a candid, practical conversation on how employers can drive real change in healthcare. ———————————— Find all episodes of Moving to Value Unscripted here . | Sign up for our email list here .
