This episode features Lili Brillstein, founder and CEO of Bcollaborative, who works to lead the transition from fee-for-service care models to value-based care models in American healthcare.

Brillstein says that when she was studying business in college, value-based care models weren’t even a blip on the radar. We were paying for units of care—and we’re still doing that today in many cases. But we can build a system focused on patient outcomes, she says, and set up reimbursement to support it. 

“The idea,” Brillstein says, “is to address variability in care and costs of care to get consistent outcomes.”
