HIMSS18: Interview with Stuart Goldberg, M.D. | Cota | Precision Payment

29 March, 2018

On this episode we talk with Stuart Goldberg, MD, Chief Scientific Officer at Cota. Dr. Goldberg tells us all about Cota’s physician-led journey to organize and classify real-world evidence about every type of cancer. This effort led to something they call the Cota Nodal Address (CNA), and it’s enabling health systems to get very specific about the types of patients they’re treating, the costs associated with them, and the outcomes being achieved. This apples-to-apples comparison allows Cota to identify variation and address it in ways that are beneficial to the provider, payer and patient. It enables a concept Dr. Goldberg calls “Precision Payment”, which in turn enables proper bundled payment design, and precision medicine.
