Health-care Disruptors: New Models Changing the Landscape

Casey Ross, Ray Dorsey, Joel Dudley, Andrea Feinberg, Dan Liljenquist

A multidisciplinary panel led by Dr. Ray Dorsey, Dan Liljenquist, Dr. Andrea Feinberg, and Dr. Joel Dudley addressed critical healthcare failures, highlighting how telemedicine, generic drug shortages, nutritional interventions, and data fragmentation impact patient outcomes and system efficiency. The speakers detailed successful pilot programs, including University of Rochester's home-based Parkinson's care, CivicaRx's nonprofit generic manufacturing model, Geisinger's Fresh Food Pharmacy, and Mount Sinai's data-driven precision health initiatives, all of which demonstrated significant reductions in costs and mortality. Despite these proven efficacy metrics, the discussion underscored that widespread scalability remains constrained by rigid Medicare reimbursement policies, regulatory limits on social determinants of care, and fragmented data infrastructure that prevents algorithmic integration.
