The Physician’s Dilemma 2021: 20 Years in the Making (Part 3)

By: | Tags:

The American Medical Association (AMA) released a recent report that headlined, “Less Than Half of Physicians Work in a Private Practice”.  The report noted that in 2020 just 49% of physicians worked in private practice, down from 54% in 2018. That is huge movement in just two years! What we can theorize is that due to COVID-19, and the incredible financial shock, the trend can be expected to accelerate. The AMA also noted that there was dramatic increase in physicians working for large medical practices of over 50 doctors, increasing […]

The Physician’s Dilemma 2021: 20 Years in The Making (Part 2)

By: | Tags:

The physician’s world was changing prior to SARS-COVID-19 pandemic. We could argue it has been changing for 20 years however, the pandemic has both hyper accelerated the crisis and forced physicians to make very hard decisions. As we noted in the previous blog, though we are “zealots” on the use of technology in healthcare, technology is only part of the solution. Though pure technologist would not like to hear it, we believe that we have way too much technology in healthcare today. Yes, we as a technology driven enterprise said […]

As noted in the title of this blog, this impact on the U.S. healthcare industry has been at least 20 years in the making; the problem and trajectory became inevitable, […]

United States of Healthcare 2021: Part 3

By: | Tags:

Over the last few years, this blog has focused on healthcare in the United States.  We have discussed an array of topics from new technologies and new systems to a much broader conversation regarding public health care policy. The most powerful individual in the United States healthcare system is the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS directly controls over US $1 trillion of American public healthcare payments, and it affects most of the rest of our nation’s healthcare costs, directly or indirectly, by setting base […]

United States Healthcare 2021: Part 2

By: | Tags:

In our last blog, we broadly described what we think the healthcare agenda for President Biden is likely to look like. We purposely omitted discussing his nominee for Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Mr. Xavier Becerra, currently the 33rd Attorney General of California, as we believe it is inappropriate to comment on a nominee until confirmed. Let us begin by looking at the projected budget for HHS. The HHS budget for 2021, as approved in 2020 (excluding subsequent COVID-19 emergency appropriations), was US$1.4 trillion. Without a […]

Projected Impact on Healthcare from a Biden Administration

By: | Tags:

by Noel J. Guillama, President OXIO Health, Inc. January 8, 2021 U.S. Healthcare Industry – Projected Healthcare Impact from a Biden Administration Since Theodore Roosevelt, American presidents have endeavored to reform healthcare. President Trump ran in 2016 on a platform of “repealing and replacing Obamacare” or the Affordable Care Act (ACA); however, no new plan has emerged. Even in the 2020 election, President Trump did not propose a new healthcare plan. On the other hand, Vice President and now President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. ran on a plan to strengthen […]
