Optimal Care, Optimized Cost: Reducing Health System Spending w/ Derek Haas

Surgeons getting sticker shock? MTVA discusses transparency in health system spending and optimizing for better long-term patient outcomes with special guest Derek Haas.

Derek is the CEO and founder of Avant-garde Health, which provides surgeons, health systems, and ASCs with comprehensive insight into their surgical care and empowers them to improve their profitability and care quality.

"We help health systems and physicians understand the opportunities to deliver their care with the same or higher quality but in a more financially-optimal fashion."

Avant-garde's work has been featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. Derek has co-authored twelve Harvard Business Review articles, as well as articles in NEJM and JAMA. He holds a BA and MBA from Harvard.

Our conversation with Derek is particularly timely as hospitals and health systems navigate how changes in federal policy will impact their business models.
