32% Savings and Still Growing
In this episode of the Disrupted Podcast, Jamie and Scott jump head first into a groundbreaking shift in healthcare delivery. Scott shares how Your Health’s home-based model — supported by chronic care management, community health workers, and coordinated transitions — is delivering the highest Medicare savings in the country at scale. They unpack why other models are failing financially, the critical importance of same-day or next-day post-hospital visits, and how blending leadership across divisions is key to improving outcomes. Along the way, Scott calls for a culture of ownership, explains why corporate thinking matters as much as individual effort, and issues a challenge to the healthcare industry: stop talking about value-based care and start living it.
