Thoughts from Ken Kaufman Ken Kaufman Podcast: A New Look at Healthcare Disruption Ken Kaufman has a wide-ranging conversation with Michael Peregrine, partner at McDermott Will & Emery, on what healthcare boards need to know about industry disruption. Covering artificial intelligence, powerful new competitors, pending legislation, and more, Kaufman challenges healthcare boards to adopt a culture of experimentation and change. This podcast is from McDermott Will & Emery's Governing Health podcast series. Thoughts from Ken Kaufman Opening Pandora’s Box The changes proposed in the Senate and House healthcare bills would affect a large and highly vulnerable population: poor children, people with disabilities, elderly people whose resources have been depleted, and adults suffering from short-term or long-term poverty. Yet, the House and Senate bills contain no direction on how to implement the proposed changes in a way that would not hurt the millions of people the program serves or the many others touched by Medicaid. These high-stakes effects would be left to states and providers to remedy and for these populations to absorb. Our nation’s healthcare system is a large and complex web system of interdependencies among individuals, providers, governments, employers, payers, and many other stakeholders. Any change to one part of that system could cause multiple, hard-to-predict effects on any and every other part.

Thoughts from Ken Kaufman Defining an Endgame for Consolidation: Lessons from Banking The pace of healthcare consolidation has been accelerating significantly. Between 2006 and 2016, the number of announced hospital and health system transactions increased 55 percent. As I discuss these trends with healthcare executives across the country, the question I hear most often is: What is the endgame?
