The Handoff: Judy Kunisch - What nurse leaders need to know about payers

This episode focuses on a subject that wasn't in the previous five seasons of the show: the payer side of healthcare and its impact on nurses. Guest Judy Kunisch has a lot of experience – and a lot of opinions on this topic – and even Dan learned quite a bit during their discussion. <br /><br />Judy is a former bedside nurse turned vice president for a Fortune 100 insurance company turned consultant who primarily works with payers and is passionate about serving as a bridge between those two worlds. She believes that nurses don’t have enough exposure to this side of the business and she wants to change that. Today she gives us a deep dive on the evolution of value-based payments and how they intersect with nursing, as well as how nurse leaders can use this information to make the case for more resources within their organization.<br /><br />Find all of our network podcasts on your favorite podcast platforms and be sure to subscribe and like us.
