Healthcare coverage for all
I will use Census data to analyze it. Analysis will be done on population in a particular geographical area, age group, number of dependents, local state weather conditions (if it is industrial area, number of services covered under health insurance will be more), Definitely, there will be NO one size fit for all. Data has to be analyzed in multiple directions so that I can make possibly most best decision
Upon analyzing the data, pricing of plans will be decided with customized options for people and this will be done based on state to state or area to area where applicable.
Improved quality of care
For this, I will leverage IT and get members, providers, insurers online. This system will be having options such as member past claim history, treatments, and the solution. By this way, providers work will become easy to assist the patient. For member, they don't have to remember everything. One click will get their information for the provider pursue. This system will also saves time for both member and provider and provides and saves financial information.
Value based Care
Providers will be paid for the services they deliver. This will help in customizing the provider services. If the member is ready to pay more for his/her insurance policy, he will be provided more services. For example, a 20 years person may not need dental services but a 50 years old person might need it at regular intervals.
Improved access
I will propose a plan to setup a clinic/hospital based on population in a particular geographical area. Example a primary care physician for every 1000 and a major hospital for every town with 10000 population. (numbers are assumptions)
Lower Cost (Affordability)
Costs in health care is so complicated as they works in round robin fashion. To reduce the policy pricing, providers have to reduce their charges. But if the Govt has to reduce the price of insurance to get everyone insured, I will propose a system for providers which gives them a standard amount irrespective of number of services they provided. Consider it as a Salary. So that they can earn some money for living. Alternatively it will encourage to provide services at competitive prices which let the Govt to negotiate the pricing. Based on it, Govt will decide the insurance pricing for individuals.
Improved Patient Satisfaction
As discussed earlier, more number of hospitals will be brought into network so that people will have access to more service providers. Also with the competitive pricing, members will be getting more number of services with less amount which improvises the satisfaction. Apart from that, all providers will be given basic training at regular intervals to make sure they are provide services only when needed (not unnecessary services which leads to waste/fraud)
Improved Provider Satisfaction
All providers in the network will be given some amount for being in the network. This will help in, letting them continue to be in the network and make some money. Apart from that, a rating system will be introduced to get feedback from members and highest rated providers will be given some monetary benefits in addition to their monthly fee. Not just money but also these ratings would make them as preferred service provider.
Implementation of population health model
This model helps in determining/understanding the overall health statistics such as life expectancy, social habits, current deceases/health issues (example: number of diabetic patients in city "A"). To implement this the Government has to collect the data from providers and all other relevant departments such as census, birth and death register etc.
