Consumerisation of Health Care


I recently featured in a corporate video about the consumerisation of health care. I appear in the last minute or so (only a two minute video).


I think it provides an interesting flavor of some of the thought leadership at Optum (I work for OptumLabs, and Optum subsidiary), and some insight into major themes in healthcare today.


The backstory is that I spent some time being made up for a corporate video shoot a few months ago. 

The make-up took a few minutes, and then they interviewed me for an hour or two.

From that, they suggested some of the footage might be included in a corporate video.

The next thing I hear, a friend Moshe Cohen noticed the following on CNN Politics (phone screen shot). Thanks, Moshe!
