Converge Cast | Investing in Innovation Around True Value-Based Care: Anna Haghgooie

This episode of WittKieffer’s Converge Cast focuses on the transformative potential of value-based care. Our guest, Anna Haghhooie, shares her insight on investment in and innovation around “true” value-based care, which provides holistic and viable models of integrated care for patients and populations.  An eternal optimist, as well as seasoned operator and investor, she is actively pursuing her North Star in healthcare – to marry care efficiency and cost-effectiveness with human-to-human engagement.  Anna is Managing Director of Valtruis, a unique Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe platform company that invests in and partners with disruptive leaders whose mission is to break through the systemic barriers in the healthcare industry to reduce costs, expand access, increase quality, and radically improve the patient experience.

Speaking with WittKieffer’s Michael Castleman and Shelly Carolan, Anna explains how most current VBC models operate on a "chassis of legacy infrastructure," which hampers innovation and inhibits sustainable approaches. Innovation around VBC, shesays, will likely come from well-funded entrepreneurs willing to absorb risk and invest in alternate provider/payer/patient strategies.
