Partner Leemore Dafny is the guest on A Health Podyssey, the podcast series from Health Affairs, to discuss vertical integration in the healthcare sector. Dr. Dafny explains that conceptually, given all the potential advantages of vertically integrated networks, one could think they would deliver better care and be cheaper, but that there hasn’t yet been evidence to corroborate that. She shares observations on what the regulatory response to vertical integration has been so far and some impacts vertical integration may have on the future state of markets.
This is the 200th episode of A Health Podyssey; Dr. Dafny was also a guest on the 100th episode, which focused on patient assistance programs.
The podcast is available on the Health Affairs website.
