On PopHealth Week our guest today making an encore appearance is Brian Klepper, PhD, a healthcare analyst, commentator and entrepreneur who relentlessly focuses his attention on health care market dynamics and the drivers of the cost crisis. He is Principal of Healthcare Performance, Inc. and Worksite Health Advisors, both specialized health benefits consulting firms connecting high performance, high impact health care organizations with organizational health care purchasers and health industry players. He is a former owner and Principal of a worksite clinic/medical risk management firm, and a former CEO of the National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH), representing 52 regional business health coalition and some 5,000 organizational health benefits purchasers. Much of Brian’s work has focused on the mechanisms that underlie America’s healthcare cost crisis and how institutionalized clinical and business practices have distorted care and cost patterns, driving unnecessary cost. His perspective favors patients, whose medical care often exposes them to needless physical risk, and purchasers, whose health care costs are double those in other developed nations, creating a cascade of negative economic impacts.
