Breaking the Iron Triangle
But actually
The Iron Triangle of healthcare states that when any change in care delivery is implemented, access, quality, and cost cannot all be improved; at least one must be compromised. However, disruptive innovation has the potential to break the Iron Triangle; AI will be the disruptive force that improves efficiency while broadening access and expanding financial opportunities for providers.
Flagler Health is focused on improving care delivery through its Virtual Vertical. Brick-and-mortar practices are struggling to provide high-quality care in the current healthcare environment. Disruptive innovation is necessary to help physicians navigate the ever-more tumultuous reimbursement landscape. Flagler’s AI-enabled patient triage tool screens the clinic’s EHR records to identify qualified patients for specific services that Flagler then provides remotely, thereby converting a traditional brick-and-mortar clinic into a vertically integrated health system.
Flagler builds upon the conventional healthcare model by integrating virtual care throughout the patient journey without disrupting the clinic’s existing workflow. Patients gain access to healthcare services ranging from routine check-ups to physical therapy and mental health services, all from the comfort of their homes. The Virtual Vertical allows patients to seek expert medical care, maintain therapy compliance, and seek health care on demand.
Furthermore, this platform employs AI to analyze vast amounts of health data to generate tailored care plans and insights, empowering patients and physicians to actively manage their health and clinic data, respectively. These personalized interventions not only optimize health outcomes but also minimize the likelihood of ER visits and significant adverse health events. Flagler's commitment to care delivery extends beyond virtual consultations. The platform tracks the general health and wellness of a clinic’s entire patient population to assist the physician in optimizing the health of specific at-risk populations within the clinic, fostering a cohesive network where patient information flows securely, and promoting continuity of care. The platform reduces administrative burdens and allows medical professionals to focus on delivering quality care and engaging with their patients.
Flagler's Virtual Vertical facilitates smoother transitions between virtual and in-person care, ensuring a holistic approach to patient care. This care delivery model marries essential physician care at brick-and-mortar practices with the convenience of remote care for many ancillary services. By embracing technology and personalized care, Flagler will empower all physicians to provide comprehensive care to their patients and finally break the Iron Triangle by providing affordable, accessible, and high-quality healthcare to patients.
Here’s another Fun Flag Fact:
The most expensive Union Jack in the world (British Flag) the sole surviving flag from the Battle of Trafalgar. It was sold at auction for £384,000 – nearly 40 times the pre-auction estimate.
The battle damaged flag – measuring 11ft x 7ft – flew from the jack staff of HMS Spartiate at the historic battle and following victory over Napoleon’s French army, the crew lowered the flag and presented it to Lieutenant James Clephan for his outstanding performance during the famous engagement.
