As Yahoo Finance’s Healthcare Week kicks off, reporter Anjalee Khemlani sat down with SCAN Group & Health Plan President and CEO Sachin Jain to discuss how healthcare has evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jain noted that increased access to telehealth has strained in-person healthcare relationships. Pre-pandemic, building bonds between providers and patients was vital, but telehealth’s rise has disrupted this.
Jain also commented on financial strains facing hospitals, though he called recent layoffs more a “crisis in healthcare management” than a fiscal necessity. Jain says financial leaders are trained to view things in terms of “targets,” but this thinking can undermine healthcare’s core focus – patients, workforce, and physicians.
