Session 1: The Geography Problem
Featuring: The Borderless Healthcare Revolution
-- Chapters 1 through 3
I am Dr. Sarah Matt, a general surgeon turned technology strategist and a boy mom who has seen healthcare from the sterile OR to the chaotic startup boardrooms. I teach at SUNY Upstate and volunteer at a charity clinic, which keeps me grounded in why we do this work in the first place. Ladies, let’s get real about why your ZIP code is still the biggest predictor of your health. We are diving into the "Geography Problem" and why moving healthcare closer to the patient is about more than just miles. I will introduce my "Five Pillars of Access"; Physical, Financial, Cultural, Digital, and Trust/Knowledge, to show you where the system is actually leaking. We will also talk about why technology is just the lead singer of the band; without the drummer and the bassist (that is our systems and policy), the music falls flat. Whether you have highlighted every page or are currently using my book as a doorstop, come!
