PopHealth Week: Cracking the Code on Chronic Disease with Drs. Doug Romer and David Nash

On this episode hosts Fred and Gregg welcome David Nash MD, Dean Emeritus, Jefferson College of Population Health, and Doug Romer, MD, Chief Medical Officer, MedsEngine. The wide ranging conversation spotlights high blood pressure as the world's number one killer, and in the United States, fewer than one in four people with hypertension have it under control. They examine why decades of guidelines, public health campaigns, and payment reforms have failed to move the needle, and what a quietly revolutionary clinical decision support platform is doing about it. From the structural limits of a market-based healthcare system to the underappreciated science of hemodynamic phenotyping, Nash and Romer offer a frank, evidence-grounded diagnosis of the chronic disease management crisis and a compelling look at what nation-leading blood pressure control rates, ie, 92% sustained over ten consecutive years, actually required to achieve.
