HC360 #024 - A Superior Alternative to Orthopedic Healthcare Delivery with Dr. Alejandro Badia

I was fortunate to be able to visit with Dr. Alejandro Badia - a hand and upper extremity surgeon at his home in Miami, I wanted to bring him onto Healthcare 360 and discuss his push to change access to orthopedic care. Naturally an entrepreneur, he saw a problem and now he is fixing it. Dr. Badia saw the waste of time and resources patients exhausted before finally seeing a specialist like him, and that is where OrthoNOW, an urgent care center for Orthopaedic issues, began. We will talk about Dr. Badia’s OrthoNow approach, the apps that have been created to compliment OrthoNow, and the pros and cons of franchising or leasing similar turnkey concepts. We will also deep dive into the messy middle and the physician's need to interject themselves into the world of insurance and construction, and how big entities could jump on board to make concepts like OrthoNow a huge burden release for ERs and Urgent Cares, everywhere. You will also learn how LinkedIn could really help healthcare if it is more of a collaboration versus just a connection.
