Better Ways to Cut Healthcare Waste

The video discusses waste in U.S. healthcare, highlighting two main approaches to address it: patient-centered and systemic. The patient-centered approach focuses on super utilizers, but a study in Camden showed limited success. The systemic approach looks at healthcare as a whole, aiming to identify and eliminate wasteful practices. Both approaches have challenges, including resistance from healthcare providers and the risk of reduced care quality. The video suggests a combined approach for effective reform.
