Why Your Company Needs Medical Counsel, Not Just Legal Counsel
So most companies have legal counsel, either in-house or readily available. But many don’t counsel from a physician.
Why can physicians in the role of a physician executive help a company through population health initiatives that grow a culture of health and wellness?
How does a company seek a physician executive? What skills and experience should they look for? With the cost of care restraining employee pay and eroding profits, what can a physician executive do?
My guest today is Raymond Fabius MD. Dr Fabius is an experienced physician executive who’s worked with many large America companies, including General Electrics’ Global Health Plan, Walgreens, Thompson Reuters, Cigna, Truven Analytics and others.
He’s also authored 5 textbooks including the leading textbook on population health.
Ray is currently the co-founder and president of HealthNext, an endeavor focused on helping corporations build a culture of health and well-being.
I’ve known Ray for several years as we’ve both served on the Medical Director Advisory Council of the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions.
