VIDEO: How To Reshape Medicaid With Dr. Zane Gates

May 22, 2024|TED Talk|

Dr. Zane Gates highlights a stark reality in healthcare: your treatment can depend heavily on your insurance. Ever notice that? It’s not just about what you need, it’s about what’s approved.

Imagine a healthcare setting where the focus shifts from insurance constraints to patient care. Dr. Gates describes such a place; where the nurse and doctor center solely on your health needs.

Dr. Gates is advocating for a change – where medical assessments and plans aren’t dictated by insurance, but by what is medically best for the patient. It’s a fresh perspective worth considering.

Ever been bogged down by prior authorizations for tests or treatments? Dr. Gates proposes a system where necessary tests and prescriptions happen seamlessly, prioritizing patient care over paperwork.

According to Dr. Gates, removing “extraneous causes of healthcare administration” could allow medical staff more time to ensure patients fully understand their care plans. More clarity, less hurry.
