Question: What are you most excited about right now and what makes you nervous?
Dr. Brent Burkey: Right now, I'm both excited and nervous about the fundamental core changes that must occur within our healthcare system, which include the delivery and funding of healthcare services. I'm most nervous about a rapidly approaching breaking point for healthcare — the balance of providing the highest quality of care, the best experience, addressing regulatory and compliance responsibilities, along with inadequate reimbursements from governmental and commercial payors, is too much burden that exclusively rests on the backs of healthcare providers. My excitement for convenient and patient-driven access to healthcare services is higher than ever — we need to continue learning and adapting consumer preferences from other service sectors into healthcare.
