    with John Harrison

    In the latest episode of the Health Policy Podcast, host Bryan Hyde interviews John E. Harrison, founder and CEO of Gesundheit, an e-consult platform for community health clinics. Harrison discusses how e-consults can improve patient care by integrating specialists into primary care settings, drawing parallels to the "Moneyball" approach in baseball, which emphasizes resource optimization. He highlights successful case studies, particularly in rural Kentucky, and the potential for scalability in the U.S. healthcare system.
