Northwell Health CEO John D’Angelo, MD | The Next Operating System for Healthcare

Northwell Health CEO John D’Angelo, MD | The Next Operating System for Healthcare

“We can’t cut our way to affordability. We have to build better health.”

In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, Eric Glazer sits down with Dr. John D’Angelo, President and CEO of Northwell Health, one of the largest health systems in the country.

Throughout the discussion, Dr. D’Angelo challenges some of healthcare’s biggest assumptions, from the way we think about affordability, to the way we deliver care, to the role technology should play in helping people stay healthy before they become patients.

Topics include:

  • Why affordability may be more of a prevention challenge than a cost challenge
  • The shift from episodic care to continuous health management
  • Workforce shortages and the future of care delivery
  • Building the digital infrastructure for the next generation of healthcare
  • Northwell Direct and rethinking incentives in healthcare
  • What healthcare leaders may be underestimating about the decade ahead

If you’re responsible for leading change inside a health system, health plan, physician organization, or healthcare company, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on what healthcare may need to become, not just what it needs to improve.
