The desire for elderly people or individuals with life-threatening conditions to remain in their homes for as long as possible without being a burden to their families is strong.  Home is the future of healthcare and looking at recent acquisitions over the last 12 – 24 months, the race to deliver care in the home is on. 

 

Today’s guest had a vision for providing care in the home long before many others.  Paul Kusserow, Chairman and CEO of Amedisys, a company that helps individuals remain in their homes through home health, personal care and hospice services.  Paul has served in senior executive roles at companies such as Humana, The Advisory Board, Zeigler, McKinsey and Tenet to name a few.  Paul is one of the best strategic thinkers in the industry, who can also execute on a strategy.

Show Notes: Paul is rereading Plato as he believes the saying, “If you want to understand how the world works then read Plato.”; The Loyalty Effect by Frederick Reichheld, The Discipline of Market Leaders by Michael Treacy; The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande
