Powering Personalized Senior Care at Home w/ WellBe CEO Jeffrey Kang
Whole-person care is the gold standard for treating elderly patients by delivering care where they need it when they need it, but traditional healthcare models make it tough to scale.
Can value-based care and home-based medicine change that?
In this episode of CareTalk, host John Driscoll speaks with Jeffrey Kang, CEO of WellBe, to explore the challenges and opportunities of geriatric care, the evolution of Medicare risk adjustment, and why integrating whole-person care into value-based models is key to keeping vulnerable patients healthier.
