Health system redesign and value-based primary care in osteoarthritis with Dr Kevin Cheng

Although research has consistently demonstrated what is required to manage osteoarthritis appropriately, this is not the reality experienced by most. The current treatment for osteoarthritis is often reactive, using treatments which are not beneficial and often harmful and expensive to patients.

The limitations in the current health system call for new models of osteoarthritis care to support ongoing symptom relief and self-management that are proactive and preventative. Re-engineering our health care system may be facilitated by considering how health professionals are paid. At present this is based on activity, with little heed paid to quality or outcome.

On this episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Kevin Cheng to discuss health system redesign and value based primary care in osteoarthritis.

Dr Kevin Cheng is an Australian-trained GP specialising in chronic disease management and integrated care. He trained at the University of WA, has a fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and a MBA from INSEAD in France. He has interests in lifestyle medicine, health system reform and data analytics in healthcare. Kevin has over 20 years experience as a doctor working in urban and rural areas in Australia, plus sabbaticals in Kenya, Hong Kong, and England as a clinician and in health policy. He has developed innovative programs for Governments, health insurers, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. He is an industry expert in models of health care, population health management and chronic disease care. Kevin also worked for strategy consulting firms McKinsey & Company and Boston Consulting Group, leading business transformations in public sector and private industries such as retail banking, manufacturing, mining, education, and technology. He is the founder of Osana, a general practice corporate.
