Ep40: Reversing Traditional Incentives, Access To Healthcare and Community: with Dr. Andrea J. Boudreaux
•
Dr. Eric Fethke
We need to transition our industry from being about sickness, to being about wellness.
Imagine a system that rewarded providers for keeping patients well; that reimbursed practices for patients with better metrics.
That’s the type of system dreamt of by this week’s guest, Dr. Andrea J. Boudreaux, Executive Director of Children’s School Services team in Washington, D.C.
Having come face to face with the structural issues plaguing healthcare, she chooses action: making fundamental differences for children and families in low-income neighborhoods by bringing healthcare to schools, shelters and in virtual checkups.
From throwing community health fairs, to holding policy makers and stakeholders to account in finance-focused meetings, Dr. Boudreaux is creating tangible change, upholding a focus on diversity and inclusion, and incentivizing equitable access for everyone!
