Farzad Mostashari MD Unbundles the ‘Healthcare Borg’ at Engage

By Gregg A. Masters, MPH

I have been following the career of Dr. Mostshari since his tenure at ONC as Director of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.

Upon learning of his launch of the startup ACO management company Aledade, we posted some thoughts here and here.

Yesterday at MedCity Media’s ‘ENGAGE’ conference in Bethesda, Maryland he literally tutored the in-person audience as well as many others following the feed via Google Hangouts, or the twitter stream tagged #mcENGAGE. Mostashari illuminated both the burning platform nature of the ‘business as usual’ through a prism of ‘good for doc’, ‘good for patient’, ‘good for society’, as well as probable indicia of the likely solutions. This is a masterful performance by a physician executive turned entrepreneur worthy of widespread distribution. Apparently there’s quite a bit more to Mostshari than EHR adoption and the national e-connectivity backbone.

Enjoy!
