For decades, the U.S. healthcare system has been burdened by the persistent problem of medical overtreatment. The issue is most problematic when it comes to unnecessary surgeries. The consequences can be potentially devastating, including hospital readmissions, debilitating post-surgical pain and injury, and even mortality.
This is not a new problem. What is new, however, is the greater availability of preventative care and innovative technologies that are now making expensive procedures like surgery much less necessary for more people. Sword Health, in partnership with Carrum Health, is transforming musculoskeletal (MSK) care by providing a new model that offers much better value at lower cost to help people live fuller, healthier, and happier lives.
In this webinar Dr. Vijay Yanamadala, Sword's Chief Medical Officer, and Christoph Dankert, SVP, Provider Partnerships for Carrum Health, discuss how the two solutions work together to find the most effective, most affordable care for people who are struggling with MSK pain—which affects 1 in 2 adult Americans, and costs employers billions of dollars per year.
