25. Unburdening the Frontlines of Chronic Care

In this episode, we dive into how value-based care is evolving to better support overextended providers caring for patients with chronic conditions—those who account for the highest costs despite being a small portion of the population. Technology like remote monitoring and app-based tracking is helping patients stay well and avoid ER visits. We also highlight how Welby takes a smarter approach by partnering directly with larger provider groups, delivering scalable support where it's needed most.
