The Health Pulse: What can public and private sector health care learn from military medicine?
On this episode Major General Elder Granger, M.D. US Army (retired) joins Greg to discuss how lessons learned from military health agencies are inspiring new innovations in public and private health care. For example, how can the private sector adapt the military's proactive screening and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to help employees or patients struggling with trauma related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid crisis or other events. Dr. Granger emphasizes the importance of removing the stigma around mental health and improving access to mental health services. Data and enabling technology such as AI will play a pivotal role in the next big innovations in health care, including a future where Dr. Granger predicts we’ll be able to address social determinants of health head on to improve health and health care for all.
