  • Healthcare Costs and Dissatisfaction - Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 158

    The 158th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast is sponsored by Pure Storage, the data storage platform that grows with you forever. This time we are diving into the topic of healthcare costs and dissatisfaction! We kick this episode off by discussing if the rising healthcare costs are sustainable or not. Then we list out the biggest reasons why healthcare costs so much right now. These rising costs have caused a lot of dissatisfaction in healthcare, so next we talk about where all of this dissatisfaction leads. Lastly, we debate what can really be done to lower healthcare costs.

    Thank you to our sponsor, Pure Storage! We all need a data platform that is reliable, efficient, and manageable. Data is growing and requirements are changing. What feels sufficient and efficient today may not be tomorrow. Just like our own personal health, it’s important to routinely monitor your IT infrastructure. That’s why Pure Storage has created a quick quiz to help you start a conversation about whether your data platform is future-ready—or maybe it’s time for a checkup. Go to healthcareittoday.com/purestorage to take a quick self-guided quiz—and start a path to more reliable and flexible data services.

    Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

    • Are rising healthcare costs sustainable?
    • What are the biggest reasons healthcare costs so much?
    • Where does this dissatisfaction towards healthcare lead?
    • What can be done to really lower healthcare costs?
