The Population Thinker

Jason Helgerson / Dr. David Kindig Season 2 Episode 9

As someone who helped coin the phrase “purchasing population health,” David Kindig has been at the forefront of the move to a health care system that prioritizes outcomes, aligns incentive structures, and eliminates waste. His work has always been prophetic and ahead of its time, pushing value based purchasing in the 90s before most knew what it meant. His approach weaves population health concepts with emerging cross-sector partnership frameworks, all in an effort to prioritize health, reduce inequality, and unleash our collective potential, all in an effort to achieve longer, healthier lives for all of us.
