Description: Welcome to another episode of Patients Win. Today, we explore what it truly means to move healthcare upstream, shifting the focus from reactive disease treatment to proactive, whole-person care. We’re joined by Dr. Scott Conard, a family physician and leader in value-based care, who shares his transformative journey from traditional allopathic medicine to embracing integrative and preventative health. Dr. Conard recounts how personal loss early in his career compelled him to question the conventions of medicine and motivated his mission to become not just a doctor, but a healer focused on the entire individual - body, mind, and spirit.In this conversation, you’ll hear candid stories about the shortcomings and perversions of value-based care, how data and risk management can be harnessed to save lives before crises strike, and how innovative care models are both saving lives and challenging the financial incentives of traditional healthcare systems. Together with hosts Dr. Jonathan Bushman and Troy Reichert, we’ll discuss empowering patients to take control of their own health, building systems that identify risk before it becomes reality, and the ongoing battle to align healthcare incentives with true wellness. Get ready for a deep dive into the future of medicine, the power of data, and the courage it takes to lead change that puts patients first.Timestamps:00:00 Transitioning from Doctor to Healer04:11 Rethinking allopathic medicine basics08:58 Building health literacy and relationships11:27 Discussing patient post-surgery recovery15:11 Mindset and Physical Transformation17:50 Using data to prevent health issues22:42 Using a whole person risk score24:08 Expanding and diversifying clinic services29:51 NDA and deciding to leave32:34 Discussing healthcare financial conflicts33:34 Frustrations with insurance and patient care37:59 Improving Patient Care and Services40:44 Innovations in healthcare cost reduction45:01 Commitment to healthcare reform48:36 Hospital reimbursement rates increase50:54 Discussing US healthcare costsShow Website - https://thepatientswin.com/Primed Healthcare - https://primedhealthcare.com/Troy Reichert - Show Host - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/troy-reichert-67606b5/Dr. Jonathan Bushman - Show Host - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-bushman-do-106821191Media Partner - TopHealth - https://tophealth.care/“Disclaimer: Informational only.
