Donna Isgett, CEO of McLeod Health, discusses the growing momentum of healthcare transformation and how Ascendient’s Healthytown model is helping to ensure a sustainable future for her nonprofit system with seven hospitals and 15,000 employees spread across 12 counties in South Carolina.
“[Today] we’re paid for fee-for-service – you do a service, and you’re compensated for it. When you move all the way over to Healthytown, to population health management, you’re paid to care for that patient; it’s totally centered around the patient. That transition in thinking – very different. That will not be an easy move, but we financially can’t afford not to.”
