Unfortunately, healthcare spend continues to rise, with experts predicting it'll grow to its highest level in 13 years in 2025. Understandably, companies are looking for ways to manage and reduce costs— but this doesn't mean they have to compromise on quality of care. In this post, we share how a best-in-class centers of excellence solution can help employers save money while prioritizing access to high-quality care: https://lnkd.in/efpDmRq3 #carrumhealth #centersofexcellence #coe #valuebasedcare #bundledcare #benefits #qualitycare #risinghealthcarecosts #healthcare

#InTheNews Patients who receive a cancer diagnosis have enough to focus on— let’s cross worries about the ‘cost of treatment’ off their list. Sach Jain, Carrum’s Founder and CEO spoke with Healthcare Brew recently about Carrum Cancer Care, the significant expansion of our cancer COE network, and how to rein in costs. Sach shared it’s important that patients get “the right care, as opposed to the most care.” Excerpt: “Total nationwide cancer care spending is expected to reach more than $245 billion annually by 2030, according to the American Association for Cancer Research, as more patients are diagnosed at younger ages. With about half the US population on employer-sponsored health insurance plans, those employers are footing a bigger portion of bills. Naturally, many employers are looking for ways to reduce those costs. Enter Carrum Health.” https://lnkd.in/ePFjvkY4 #valuebasedcare #centersofexcellence #cancercarecosts #financialtoxicity #patientexperience

#InTheNews Where are many surgeries being performed today? How has this trend shifted in the U.S and how does it compare to other countries? Christoph Dankert, Carrum’s Chief Network Officer spoke with Arunima Rajan-Nikhil at Healthcare Executive about the rising trend of outpatient or daytime surgeries happening in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCCS) and weighed in on the ASC landscape in the U.S. “Take total joint replacement - pre-pandemic, maybe one-quarter of the surgeries happened in a hospital outpatient setting, let alone an ASC. This has reversed to where 80-90% of joint replacement surgeries now take place in an outpatient setting. Many surgeons will perform almost all of their cases in an ASC. Advances in better, less invasive surgical techniques, improved anesthesia protocols and more pre-operative preparation have together enabled this trend. It does come with challenges, as patients need to be prepared much more thoroughly, and a clear support plan must be provided after the surgery. Even things as simple as who picks you up from the surgery center need to be thought through carefully.” Read more about the global trends of surgeries being performed at ASCs: https://lnkd.in/dhMPTsCb #outpatientsurgery #ambulatorysurgerycenter #patientnavigation #patientexperience #totaljointreplacement

Yesterday, Carrum Health's VP of Cancer Care, Deirdre Saulet, attended the conference: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Specialty Care Delivery, hosted by AJMC - The American Journal of Managed Care and Tennessee Oncology. Deirdre was a part of the Specialty Value-Based Care Perspectives session, discussing innovations and opportunities to drive value-based care. They talked about meeting the diverse range of cancer patient needs, rethinking risk and value-based payment models, and how to demonstrate the actual “value” of care we’re providing. #carrumhealth #ajmc #tennesseeoncology #oncologyconference #cancerbenefits #employeebenefits #healthcare #valuebasedcare
